snmpwalk not working with a community name with a backslash in it

2017-02-14 Thread christopher.wu
I'm trying to determine if a community name or userid can contain a backslash. I've created a v2c SNMP community name called "testing\" and I cannot get it to work with an snmpwalk (I tried with version 5.7.3 on Linux). I realize that backslash is an escape character so I made sure to account f

I downloaded the code for 5.7.2.1 again because I wanted to insert trace statements so that I could tell you what the values were for the variables listed in #2 from your message. I ran configure with these options: ./configure --without-nl --with-transports="UDP TCP Unix UDPIPv6 TCPIPv6" --wi

scenario where IPv6 traps are being sent via the wrong default port (161)

2014-05-12 Thread christopher.wu
I looked in the bug database and didn't see this listed. I've found a scenario where snmptrap will default to port 161 for a IPv6 trap instead of port 162. In sending a simple trap on the command line I realized that it was stripping off the end of my IPv6 addr and using it as a port. snmptrap

Cannot receive v2 traps/informs sent via IPv6

2014-05-01 Thread christopher.wu
I'm having a strange problem where my snmptrapd server will not accept v2 traps/informs if they are sent via ipv6. My snmptrapd server is version 5.7.2.1 running on Linux. The traps/informs are being sent by version 5.5.1 of snmptrap, also on Linux. I tried version 5.7.2.1 of snmptrap but tha

create the group name. Therefore a 22 character community name made a 32 character group name, which is not allowed. On Fri, 19 Oct 2012 13:21:05 -0700 christopher.wu wrote >For quite a while I have been under the impression that the maximum v2c >community or v3 username tha

How do you determine how long the (readable) community/username can be?

For quite a while I have been under the impression that the maximum v2c community or v3 username that I can use with snmpwalk is 32 characters. I recently discovered that that does not appear to be the case. snmpwalk with both v2c and v3 only seems to only work for me with a maximum of 21 char
