SNMPv3 Informs configuration

Dear all,

 

 

I am trying to configure SNMPv3 in my F5 clusters, TMOS v10.2.4 build 577.0 and 10.2.4 build 732.

 

 

The agent is already configured and the poll is working flawlessly.

 

I am facing some problems with the Inform configuration.

 

There is no GUI for configuration, I used this tmsh command line and, according to SOL6821, restarted snmpd to find the 'oldEngineID' field in the snmpd.conf file:

 

 

tmsh modify sys snmp traps add { test_trap { auth-protocol sha auth-password 'same pw as agent' privacy-protocol des privacy-password 'same pw as agent' security-name 'same user as agent' security-level auth-privacy host 10.242.74.152 port 162 community version 3 engine-id 'oldEngineID field in snmpd.conf' } }

 

 

The configuration is accepted but the Nagios server has no incoming traps.

 

I started tcpdump on F5 but no packets are emitted when I generate snmp events (i.e. disable/enable a different interface etc.).

 

 

I configured v2c inform via GUI and the Nagios server received informs properly, but I need v3.

 

 

I have been looking on the forum and on google but nothing helped so far.

 

Did I do anything wrong?

 

 

Thanks in advance.
