What does tabdump switches show (redacting user/password).

IIRC, if a user and password are given, it assumes you are trying to do SNMPv3 
instead..

Subject: [xcat-user] v2.10: tabdump says xCat defaults to SNMPv1, but actually 
use SNMPv3

Hi folks,

This is xCAT 2.10 on RHEL 6.7.

Just trying to set up some FCP's here and have had a devil of a time trying to 
get them to be discovered, was always seeing:

[root@snowy-m xcat]# configfpc --verbose -i bond0 --ip 172.30.101.131 Default 
IP address is 172.30.101.131 

Default route address is 172.30.101.132/16 

Running ip addr add dev bond0 172.30.101.132/16 Found 172.30.101.131 address

rspconfig Found IP 172.30.101.131 and MAC 6c:ae:8b:09:4b:66 Mapped MAC 
6c:ae:8b:09:4b:66 to node
Error: No FPC found that is associated with MAC address 6c:ae:8b:09:4b:66.

Running ip addr del dev bond0 172.30.101.132/16 Removing default FPC node

To cut a long story short, investigating with wireshark revealed
that whilst "tabdump -d switches" says:

snmpversion:    The version to use to communicate with switch.  SNMPv1 is 
assumed by default.

This is not actually true, it uses SNMPv3 by default.

Changing our switch definition to force SNMPv1 makes everything work (hooray).

Is this a known issue?


All the best,
Chris
