Hi, I have an SNMP master agent and a couple of subagents and they share the same EngineID. The subagents send the traps directly to the configured destinations. With SNMPv3, there are additional parameters - engineBoots and engineTime - to maintain the timeliness of the SNMP PDU. If the main agent goes for a restart, the engineBoots is incremented for it. The subagent will still continue to use its copy of the parameters. The trap receiver, say snmptrapd, will initialize/update its session with the incoming trap and if the subagent sends the trap (with the older value for engineBoots), the receiver discards it.
Is there a mechanism to avoid such a scenario? Or, will it help setting the contextName to a different value for the subagent so that the trap receiver will treat it as a different session? I did search the net for it and stumbled upon this: http://sourceforge.net/p/net-snmp/mailman/message/28627499/ The OP must have probably faced a similar but I couldn't find any workaround. Any thoughts? -- Regards, Sai ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
