Active/Standby Failover Pair SNMPv3 Query

DM69
Level 1
Level 1

Can someone explain to me how SNMP v3 works on a multiple context Active/Standby failover ASA pair?

I have SNMP v3 configured to send traps to a NMS server (which I do not have access to) and what I am unsure of is will the NMS Server see the Failover pair as a single entity or as two separate devices?

The reason for this ask is if a power supply fails (for example) in the secondary ASA how does the NMS Server know that it is the secondary ASA that has the failure, especially if the secondary ASA has become the Active device?

I understand that the engineIDs are unique for the Active and Standby ASA in each context and the Active engineID is also known. So is it possible to utilise the engineID to identify the individual ASA on the NMS Server?
