I am new to Zenoss and I am trying to test Zenoss to see if it will work as a 
reliable network monitoring solution.   [Question]   I have configured a Cisco 
1841 router as a test router and I want to see if I can use only SNMPv3 with 
traps because of v3 security features.  I have tried a number of different 
configurations and I am getting the same results.

Scenario:
-If I use the following Cisco Config.:
snmp-server location ***** ***** ****** ********, ***** ***, ***** ******, ** 
*****
snmp-server contact ******* **** **** **** ###-###-####
snmp-server view ROview internet included
snmp-server view ROview cisco included
snmp-server group ROgroup v3 priv read ROview
snmp-server user ROuser ROgroup v3 auth sha ROauthpassword priv des 
ROprivpassword
snmp-server host 10.20.1.160 traps version 3 priv ROuser
snmp-server enable traps

-I can manually Add Device to Zenoss with the following configuration:

Device Name:  10.20.1.28
Device Class Path:  /Network/Router/Cisco
Discovery Protocol:  None
Snmp Community:  {blank}
HW Manufacturer:  Cisco
HW Product:  1841
OS Manufacturer:  Cisco
OS Product:  IOS

-After adding the device to Zenoss I have added the following to zProperties:

zSnmpAuthPassword:   ROauthpassword
zSnmpAuthType:   SHA  
zSnmpCommunities:   {deleted default:  public and Private}
zSnmpCommunity:   {left blank}
zSnmpPrivPassword:   ROprivpassword
zSnmpPrivType:   DES
zSnmpSecurityName:   ROuser
zSnmpVer:  v3  

-After running the Model Device, the Device Information shows up, including the 
Contact and Location information, and the SNMP Descr.
-Two component Types show up on the status tab called IpRouteEntry and 
IpInterface.
-All my interfaces show up on the OS tab with apropriate green and read 
indicators.
-I am able to run an SNMPWalk with success:

snmpwalk -${device/zSnmpVer} -l authPriv -u ${device/zSnmpSecurityName} -A 
${device/zSnmpAuthPassword} -a  ${device/zSnmpAuthType} -x 
${device/zSnmpPrivType} -X ${device/zSnmpPrivPassword} ${here/manageIp} system 
-which gives me:
snmpwalk -v3 -l authPriv -u ROuser -A ROauthpassword -a  SHA -x DES -X 
ROprivpassword 10.20.1.28 system
-Output example (truncated to save space):
SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: Cisco IOS Software, 1841 Software 
(C1841-ADVIPSERVICESK9-M), Version 12.4(15)T8, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc3)
SNMPv2-MIB::sysORID.1 = OID: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.7.129
SNMPv2-MIB::sysORID.2 = OID: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.7.115
SNMPv2-MIB::sysORID.3 = OID: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.7.265
SNMPv2-MIB::sysORID.4 = OID: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.7.112
SNMPv2-MIB::sysORID.5 = OID: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.7.106
SNMPv2-MIB::sysORID.6 = OID: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.7.47
SNMPv2-MIB::sysORID.7 = OID: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.7.122
SNMPv2-MIB::sysORID.8 = OID: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.7.135
SNMPv2-MIB::sysORID.9 = OID: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.7.43
SNMPv2-MIB::sysORID.10 = OID: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.7.37

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
-So everything seems to work, except I am unable to get any event 
notifications.  Why am I not getting Event Notifications [Question] 
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

-If I setup my router to do a "debug snmp packets" and "debug snmp requests", I 
see Zenoss polling every 5 minutes.  However, If I do something to generate 
traps, it appears that only V2 traps are being generated.  For example, if I 
unplug a network cable the debug on the router gives me the following:

Mar 13 2009 15:28:14.279 MDT: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface 
FastEthernet0/0/0, changed state to down
MBCUT-SNMPTest03#
Mar 13 2009 15:28:14.283 MDT: SNMP: Queuing packet to 10.20.1.160
Mar 13 2009 15:28:14.283 MDT: SNMP: V2 Trap, reqid 13, errstat 0, erridx 0
 sysUpTime.0 = 1063612
 snmpTrapOID.0 = snmpTraps.3
 ifIndex.3 = 3
 ifAdminStatus.3 = 1
 ifOperStatus.3 = 2
 ifDescr.3 = FastEthernet0/0/0
 ifType.3 = 6
 lifEntry.20.3 = down
Mar 13 2009 15:28:14.535 MDT: SNMP: Packet sent via UDP to 10.20.1.160

-Notice that it gives me "SNMP:  V2 Trap".  Also, notice that the SNMPWalk -v3 
above gives me "SNMPv2-MIB".  
-I don't receive an event for the interface being down.  

-If I make a change to my router configuration:

no snmp-server host 10.20.1.160 traps version 3 priv ROuser
snmp-server host 10.20.1.160 version 2c ROuser

-Then do a Model Device, Zenoss recognizes the device.
-If I unplug a network cable, I get Events using "version 2c".
-I also get events using "version 1".

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
-What am I doing wrong? [Question] 
-Is there something that I have misconfigured on my router? [Question] 
-Are there SNMPv3-MIBs? [Question] 
-Which snmpd.conf file(s) need to be configured? [Question] 
-How do I configure the snmpd.conf file? [Question] 
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

-I have tried to include a remote engineID, but then I am unable to do an 
SNMPWalk.  The only engineID I have been able to find in Zenoss is in 
/var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf under "oldEngineID=0x80001f888014c63e6a2078ad49".
-I have reinstalled net-snmp and I still cannot find net-snmp-config.
-I have tried to run different variants of "snmpusm -v 3 -u ROuser -l authPriv 
-a SHA -A ROauthpassword -E 80001f888014c63e6a2078ad49 -e 
80001f888014c63e6a2078ad49 -x DES -X ROprivpassword" and it doesn't seem to 
like the syntax.
-I have added following to /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf, /opt/zenoss/etc/snmpd.conf, 
and /var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf with and without the engineID:

engineID 0x80001f888014c63e6a2078ad49
defSecurityLevel authPriv
defSecurityName ROuser
defAuthType SHA
defAuthPassphrase ROauthpassword
defPrivType DES
defPrivPassphrase ROprivpassword
defVersion 3

-I have added the following to /var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf with and without the 
engineID:

createuser -e 0x80001f888014c63e6a2078ad49 ROuser SHA ROauthpassword DES 
ROprivpassword

-After restarting snmpd the oldEngineID value has changed.

-I have completely uninstalled and re-installed Zenoss.  Please help.
