My engineID as returned by the agent is 80001F8801C0A80317 (generated from IP). I put this in my manager (I'm using SNMPc) and if I change one digit of it, I get a usmStatusUnknownEngineIDs message. Without changing anything, I get no answer. I think this is good enough proof that the engine ID is correct.
How do I turn debug on (I'm on embedded board with limited capabilities, I have ssh console available anyway)? Thanks, Adrian PS How do I keep these posts to stick to one thread? I see they show up as separate threads... --- On Thu, 5/19/11, Ron Rader <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Ron Rader <[email protected]> > Subject: RE: SNMPv3 on embedded system > To: "Adrian Bica" <[email protected]>, [email protected] > Date: Thursday, May 19, 2011, 5:20 PM > > From: Adrian Bica [mailto:[email protected]] > > > The engineID seems to be ok (again, forcing a bad one > will conduct to > some > > rejection message, good one - no message) > > Lack of an engine ID error does not equal engine ID > success.
