LMS 3.2 with SNMP v3 not working

[Satya Siba Sundar Mishra]

Hi ,

My network is currently running with SNMP v2 configured in easch devices. With snmp v2 our LMS 3.2 server is working fine. However we have planned to migrate our network to snmp v3 . I have configured my few devices for SNMP v3 and added them to my LMS server.

Except DFM module these new SNMP v3 devices are working fine in all other modules. In DFM these devices are reflecting under "snmp timeout" group.

I checked with device center -> management station to device; where the SNMP v3 connections are showing "okey"

following are tyhe configuration i have done in my devices.

snmp-server group v3g v3 priv read testr write testw

snmp-server user v3u v3g v3 auth md5 test123

snmp-server view testr iso in

snmp-server view testw iso in

snmp-server host 10.X.X.38 version 3 priv v3u

snmp-server user v3u v3g v3 auth md5 test1234 priv des56 test4321

snmp-server group v3g v3 priv read testr write testw

snmp-server user v3u v3g v3 auth md5 test123

snmp-server view testr iso in

snmp-server view testw iso in

snmp-server host 10.X.X.38 version 3 priv v3u

snmp-server user v3u v3g v3 auth md5 test1234 priv des56 test4321

followinfg are my module details.

LMS      : 3.2

CM        : 5.2

CV          :6.1.9

CS          :3.3.0

DFM     : 3.2.0

IPM     : 4.2.0

RME     : 4.3.0

DFM behaves different than the other modules.

DES56 is not a supported privacy algorithm for DFM. You can use DES or AES128.

Supported Algorithms in DFM

The details of the algorithms supported in DFM are:

•AuthNoPriv Mode — Supported Auth Algorithm: MD5 and SHA

•AuthPriv Mode

–Supported Auth Algorithm: MD5 and SHA

–Supported Privacy Algorithm: DES and AES128

–Unsupported Privacy Algorithm: 3DES, AES192, and AES256

-Thanks

Thanks a lot.

It resolved my problem by changing the algorithm to DES.
