SNMP

SNMP#

You must configure the PEM server to send the notifications to an SNMP trap/notification receiver before notifications can be sent. Set the SNMP ver to v1, v2, or v3 to identify the SNMP version.

Example - Configure SNMP V3 traps with net-snmp trap receiver#

  1. Set snmp_security_engine_id to PEM_SNMP_AGENT in plain text format in the Server Configuration dialog box.

  2. Convert the plain text value to hexadecimal format to use it in snmptrapd.conf file. (You can have hexadecimal values of snmp_security_engine_id up to 32 octets length).

echo PEM_SNMP_AGENT | hexdump -v -e /1 "%02X"
50454D5F534E4D505F4147454E540A

  1. Set the following parameters in the Server Configuration dialog box:

  • snmp_security_nam to pem_snmp_user

  • snmp_authentication_protocol to MD5

  • snmp_authentication_password to pem_auth_pass

  • snmp_privacy_protocol to DES

  • snmp_privacy_password to pem_priv_pass

  1. The snmptrapd.conf file has the following values:

createUser -e 0x50454D5F534E4D505F4147454E540A pem_snmp_user MD5 pem_auth_pass DES pem_priv_pass
authUser log pem_snmp_user

Note

The agent must run as root to allow sending notifications with SNMP V3.
