Hi,
Call Manager 6.x Pub-Sub configuration running fine. SNMP configured in Serviceablity for version 2c, a community string, and a destination trap address (Windows Server running a third party monitoring software that polls via snmp all devices on the network so we can monitor snmp notifications.)
An snmp scan shows snmp active on the Call manager servers, and we are getting enterprise specific traps and the like,
however, in our monitoring software we keep getting this alert every second:
Authentication Failure 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.5
from the Call manager servers, no matter what the access privilege is set to. This alert every second is overloading the database the monitoring software uses.
I've been trying to figure out why this authentication failure keeps occuring every second and am stuck.
Temporarily, I have reconfigured the snmp properties on the Call Manager Servers to version 2c, community string, read only, with no destination trap address. This has stopped the authentication failure traps, but i think it has/will stop the application from any other traps as well.
"An authenticationFailure trap signifies that the SNMP
entity has received a protocol message that is not
properly authenticated. While all implementations
of SNMP entities MAY be capable of generating this
trap, the snmpEnableAuthenTraps object indicates
whether this trap will be generated."
Do i have to disable Authentraps on the call manager server to keep a destination address for traps and avoid the failure alert every second, and if so, does anyone know how to do that on the call manager server?
Thanks in Advance.
