Hello,
I have some questions about net-snmp:
1. Does net-snmp uses syslog? If so, where does he logs things and how does he do it? Is there any example of how it is used and what is needed to use it?
2. Using snmpv3 when and where is the authentication done? In the daemon you configure the user with the password, but how do you authenticate? When you do a get command you have to know the password, how does the agent know that he can authenticate? Is there any data transmitted for this process??
3. How is the session established between the agent and the console (understand this as a simple console executing a command, for example a get)? You can configure some parameters as in snmpdemoapp, but I guess that when you use v3, there has to be a session to keep the communication, or does it create a new session every time you do a command? I guess this data is sent over UDP, so what happens if a message is lost? And doesn’t arrive or even if the response is lost? How is the session opened? Is there a key exchange?
Thanks a lot for your attention.
