Hi Paul,
I too have observed this that trapsess directive, was requiring the engine-id
for properly sending the traps. Otherwise, though we were able to generate and
send the traps from our device, but they were not able to be detected at the
receiving manager. Once we gave the engine-id of our device (trap generating
device) in trapsess directive, the traps were successfully received at the
manager.
In case of SNMPv3 traps the engine-id the sending device (trap generating
device) needs to be used in trapsess, which will be common for all the traps
generated from our device.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this.
thanks and regards
S Sarath

Hi all,
I'm currently experiencing strange behaviour while experimenting with SNMPv3
traps. Every time I define a trapsess directive like followed I get an error
about an unknown user:
trapsess -v3 -u trapuser -l authPriv -n -a MD5 -A authPass1 -x AES -X
privPass1 192.168.2.240
--
snmpd: send_trap: USM unknown security name (no such user exists)
When I change the trapsess directive to explicitely specify an imaginary
engineId, I don't get any errors any more:
trapsess -v3 -u trapuser -e 0x0102030405 -l authPriv -n -a MD5 -A authPass1
-x AES -X privPass1 192.168.2.240
My problem is that I don't really want to set the engineIDs manually, since I
would need different ones to distinguish between the devices.
Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong and how this can be solved?
Cheers,
Paul
