Unfortunately I am not able to get this to work. In the sending unit I have snmpd.conf trapsess -r 3 -t 1500 -Ci -e 0x80000523010a0b0cab -l authPriv -u jlnewuser -a M D5 -A abcdefgh -x DES -X abcdefgh 10.11.12.32
I send a trap via send send_v2trap(var_list); In the trap receiver (snmptrapd) in snmptrapd.conf I have createUser -e 0x80000523010a0b0cab jlnewuser MD5 abcdefgh DES abcdefgh when the trap is received the authoritative engine id is the engine id of the unit where the trap is being sent from which is not the engineid specified in the trapsess cmd. dumph_recv: msgAuthoritativeEngineID dumpx_recv: 04 0B 80 00 1F 0E 03 00 07 C1 50 03 AF usm: no match on engineID (80 00 1F 0E 03 00 07 C1 50 03 AF ) So the receiver does not accept it unless I specify the correct engine id of the sending unit. Am I doing something wrong - based on your response it sounds like I should be able to get this to work.

You can't - there's no concept of engine discovery in this scenario. > I do not want to specify the engine id of each station that is > sending traps to my trap receiver in my snmptrapd.conf file. This is where the -e option comes into play. Rather than configuring your trap receiver with the engineID of every single trap sender - you can simply lie. Configure the trap receiver with a single, fixed engine ID, and then specify this engine ID as part of the "trapsess" entry in each snmpd.conf file. That way everyone is agreed on the engineID to use - even if it's not strictly the "correct" one.
