SNMPv3 notifications
The Stinger unit authenticates and encrypts protocol data units (PDUs) as required by
SNMPv3, and generates traps in SNMP version 2 (SNMPv2) Trap2 format. Depending
on your configuration, a Stinger unit can send PDUs in SNMPv2 format or formats
supported by TAOS 9.0-126 and earlier releases. You can specify the destinations for
traps and the format of outgoing trap PDUs. The corresponding MIBs are
snmp-
target-mib
and
snmp-notification-mib
.
SNMPv3 notifications support enables you to configure the Stinger unit to perform
the following tasks:
Send SNMPv1 traps (trap PDUs) or SNMPv2 traps (Trap2 PDUs).
Send traps to a specified IP address and port.
Send Trap2 PDUs with different levels of security.
Send Trap2 PDUs with different usernames.
The SNMPv3 notifications feature follows the specifications in RFC 2573.
Configuring SNMPv3 notifications support
To set up SNMPv3 notifications supports from the command-line interface, perform
the following steps:
1
Create an
snmpv3-notification
profile, and set a tag to the profile. (See
“Configuring an snmpv3-notification profile” on page 7-12.)
2
Create an
snmpv3-target-param
profile. (See “Configuring an snmpv3-target-
–
Set the message-processing model to the
v1
or
v3
option
–
Set the security model to the
v1
or
v3-usm
option. If the
v3-usm
option is
selected, set the
security-name
parameter to a valid
snmpv3-usm-user
profile
name.
3
Create a
trap
profile. For additional information about creating a trap profile, see
“Configuring the trap profile” on page 8-14.
–
Set the name, destination IP address, and destination port
–
Add tag values to the
notify-tag-list
parameter. This tag list must contain
tags that were set in the
snmpv3-notification
profile. You can configure
multiple tags in this tag list, separated by spaces.
–
Set
target-params-name
to the name of the
snmpv3-target-param
profile. All
the notification profiles in the system will find
trap
profiles with matching
tags. The parameters in the
trap
profiles are used to send traps to the
network.
Note
When you upgrade to software that supports the SNMPv3 notifications
feature, the system automatically creates an
snmpv3-notification
profile and an
snmpv3-target-param
profile; both are called
default
. Therefore, SNMPv1 traps
configured in an earlier version of the software are still generated when you upgrade.
You need not create new profiles. However, removing or modifying the
default
profiles might affect the transmission of SNMPv1 traps.
