Bad engine ID value after -e flag
Hi, I’m currently testing the SNMP v3 traps (net-snmp 5.2.1.2 for RH).and I encounter the error “Bad engine ID value after -e flag” when my agent starts. Here are the details: snmpd.conf - trapsess "-e 0x0102030405 -v 3 -u myuser -a MD5 -A my_password -l authNoPriv" localhost # SNMPv3 user rwuser myuser myuser was created as follow: net-snmp-config --create-snmpv3-user -a "my_password" myuser snmptrapd.conf -- createUser -e 0x0102030405 myuser MD5 my_password DES my_password Using this configuration I’m able to send snmpv3 traps with snmptrap: snmptrap -e0x0102030405 -v3 -umyuser -aMD5 –Amy_password -lauthNoPriv localhost 42 coldStart.0 …and the traps are correctly intercepted by snmptrapd. However this is just for test. What I need to do is to send traps from my agent using send_v2trap API. But when the agent starts up it parses the snmpd.conf and I get that error. I’ve tried also the oldEngineID from /var/net-snmp/snmptrapd.conf (even that this match is only required for inform) and the result is the same. In snmpcmd man page the –e EngineId is optional but if I remove that switch from snmpd.conf I receive another error message: Invalid version specified after -v flag: 3 -u myuser -a MD5 -A my_password -l authNoPriv Could someone help me with this? Thanks a lot! Eugen

RE: Bad engine ID value after -e flag
Hi Thomas, Without double quotes there is no error message indeed but the traps are not intercepted by snmptrapd. I've put the double quotes because there are also generated by snmpconf. However if I send v2 traps with the directive trap2sink localhost it works.

RE: Bad engine ID value after -e flag
Thomas, By mistake I've send the previous message to you only. I'm sorry! I'm sending it again to everyone... Yes, and using that instructions I was able to send v3 traps using sendtrap tool, as I've described in my original email. The same snmpcmd like parameters for trapsess I suppose should tell the agent to generate the same kind of traps but for some reason it seams that they are rejected by the trap receiver.

RE: Bad engine ID value after -e flag
Hi Dave, First of all please accept my excuses for the fact that you have responded so promptly to my email and on my side I've put so much time to follow your instructions :-( Actually by trying to respond to your questions I found the problem. The traps were rejected by snmptrapd with the following error: usm: Remote boot counter invalid So I've recreated the user "myuser" with: net-nmp-config --create-snmpv3-user -a "xxx" -x "yyy" -X DES -A MD5 myuser the persistent snmpd.conf and the share snmpd.conf were thus updated and the traps are successfully intercepted by the trap receiver. And it works fine with the snmpv3 informs as well :-) Thank you so much!
