I am currently looking to see who has SNMPv3 Traps setup and working in th 10.2 Beta and what your Configuration is on your Devices. I am gathering this information to finalize my SNMPv3 document that will be sent to customers on a basic Setup.
I am only looking for Cisco at the Moment, but feel free to put any Vendors configuration in this Thread for other customers who want to set this up on their devices as well.
I have a Cisco configuration that you can use, but I cant seem to get it to work on NPM 10.2.
Where are SNMPv3 Trap Credentials managed in v10.2? I have looked everywhere for this and there doesnt seem to be any documentation for it.
In order for us to receive SNMPv3 traps for a device, that device has to be a Node in Orion and have valid SNMPv3 credentials assigned to it (thus allowing us to decrypt the messages).
Editing these credentials is done by the regular Edit Node links in Web Node Management or from the Node Details page (if you have Node Management rights).
Does this help?
I will try here. We use a different SNMPv3 user for traps, does this mean we will need to use the same credentials for SNMPv3 read and traps for each node?
Yes. The same SNMPv3 credentials are used for both. IF you are looking in your database, we are using the SNMPV3* columns from the Nodes table to decrypt incoming SNMPv3 Traps.
After applying the config to the Cisco device and generating a trap, we receive the following message in NPM:
"Bad trap packet received from Node with IP x.x.x.x. Error description: Unknown user and engine. Packet discarded."
Any help with this?
Attached is the Document I was able to create and verify for SNMPv3 Traps. This will also include Configuration of SNMPv3 on Cisco Devices, Setting up ASAs, Adding Wireless, and configuration to add for UDT.
