SNMP v3 Traps Help

[oneirishpollack]

Setup my SNMP with the following......

*************************************************

snmp-server view readview internet included

snmp-server view writeview internet included

snmp-server view readview internet included

snmp-server group readonly v3 priv read readview access 20

snmp-server user username readonly v3 auth md5 password priv des56 password

snmp-server view writeview internet included

snmp-server group readwrite v3 priv write writeview access 10

snmp-server user username readwrite v3 auth md5 password priv des56 password

*********************************

This seems to work fine for SNMP polling, but now I am trying to setup traps. I want to encrypt the SNMP data coming back to my management box. I am assuming I need a SNMP manager capable of processing v3 (encrypted) SNMP packets. I am guessing it is something along the lines of.....

snmp-server host 10.1.5.23 traps version 3 priv username

snmp-server enable traps

The problem: I am not receiving traps. I am using Kiwi Syslog to receive them, and I am guessing it is because it looks incompatible with SNMP v3 - correct?

Thanks.

Hi,

Your configuration is fine. Try to enable the debug for snmp with command "debug snmp packets" with term mon.

Now try to generate the trap and see if device is actually sending the trap to the destination or not.

You can disable the debugging with "no debug snmp packets" and "term no mon"

Thanks,
