I used the following website to enable snmpv3 on my cisco router:
http://www.unix.com.ua/orelly/networking_2ndEd/snmp/appf_02.htm
I used to following line to create the snmp user
âsnmp-server user username readonly v3 auth md5 mysecretpass priv des56 passphraseâ
After this snmpv3 works well. But when I do a show run I don't see this config line of the snmp user anywhere. More troubling, the snmp user is gone after a reload of the router and I have to re-enter it.
I'm using a Cisco 1605R router with c1600-k8osy-mz.123-22.bin

Michiel-
The username does not show up in the config, to view it try the following command.
router#show snmp users
User name: MMessier
Engine ID: 000000090200000142BC4241
storage-type: nonvolatile active
Authentication Protocol: MD5
Privacy Protocol: DES
Group-name: MyGroup
You should not lose the SNMP user after a reload. Try the above command after a reload and see if it still shows.

The snmp is gone after the reload. See bellow the steps I have taking.
1.
==================
router#show run | include snmp
snmp-server engineID local 4F04E2BC5D
snmp-server group readonly v3 auth read readview
snmp-server view readview internet included
snmp-server location ******
snmp-server contact *******
==================
2.
==================
router#show snmp user
User name: snmp
Engine ID: 4F04E2BC5D
storage-type: nonvolatile active
router#
==================
3.
==================
router#copy run start
Destination filename [startup-config]?
Building configuration...
[OK]
router#
==================
4.
==================
router#reload
Proceed with reload? [confirm]
==================
5.
==================
router#show snmp user
router#
==================

That's no good. Is this a lab router? Can you upgrade the IOS to 12.3(22a)? There are some major bug fixes in the newer code.

Sorry, included the wrong version in my first post. I already running 12.3-25 (c1600-k8osy-mz.123-25.bin)

Does SNMPv3 work once configured?
03-11-2008 02:34 PM
Yes, snmpV3 works without any problems. As long as I don't do a reload.

Could this be because of old platform (1605R) that I'm using (Maybe because of a little Nvram)? Or should it be IOS related?

What about SNMP v2 ? Does it goes after reload?
03-17-2008 10:48 PM
Yes, Snmpv2 is no problem (even with reload). But I want the security of snmpv3.
