Is there any option to use to know what is wrong ?
In the man page it says that trapsess should take arguments like snmptrapd. In order to experiment I would run snmpd -Lo -d -f --trapsess="trapsess-params" 127.0.0.1 and then stop snmpd with Ctrl-C so for my first attempt, similar to yours, I run snmpd -Lo -d -f --trapsess="127.0.0.1" 127.0.0.1 and snmpd happily prints Security name is missing.Cannot add new trap destination internal0 so something differs between our agents or configs. If I try with snmpd -Lo -d -f --trapsess="-v2c 127.0.0.1" 127.0.0.1 then my snmpd prints No community name specified. and I suppose that is similar enough to your case but it is also a v2 notification so lets say explicitly that we want a v3 notification snmpd -Lo -d -f --trapsess="-v3 127.0.0.1" 127.0.0.1 prints Security name is missing.Cannot add new trap destination internal0 and the snmpcmd.1 man page states that -u is used to specify a securityName so lets try that snmpd -Lo -d -f --trapsess="-v3 -u mySecurityName 127.0.0.1" 127.0.0.1 This results in my snmpd sending something with mySecurityName in it so I suppose that is the startup notification. In order to make this permanent I then add trapsess -v3 -u mySecurityName 127.0.0.1 to my snmpd.conf Does this help? (The snmpd parameters mean -Lo - send logs to stdout -d - log all traffic -f - run in the foreground) > I’m using tcpdump to sniff network but nothing is sent although the gdb > debugger says that send_v2trap is OK. > > Thanks by advance for your help. > > Best Regards. > Ph.
