XMC - cannot poll device snmpv3

tfsnetman — Mon, 22 Jun 2020 13:04:26 GMT

Hello everyone,

Maybe someone can point me in the right direction.

Configured an snmpv3 profile in XMC and a X450-g2 switch as described below.

https://extremeportal.force.com/ExtrArticleDetail?an=000083334

On the switch there are no entries in the log indicating a rejected request and snmp stats counters are increasing every time XMC is discovering the device.

SNMP stats: InPkts 236 OutPkts 153 Errors 0 AuthErrors 0
Gets 79 GetNexts 19 Sets 0 Drops 0
SNMP traps: Sent 0 AuthTraps Enabled
SNMP Inform: Sent 0 Retries 0 Failed 0

XMC version: 8.4.4.26

XOS version: 22.7.1.2 22.7.1.2-patch1-17

Questions:

do I have to upload the MIB to XMC - if yes. how
how can I find out what’s missing?

Thanks, Klaus

Hello,

Try this:

Out-of-the-box, the Summits have SNMP disabled. To enable, execute the following:

enable snmp access snmpv3

https://extremeportal.force.com/ExtrArticleDetail?an=000083361

If you open up the legacy “Console” application there is a tool called “MIB tools” that I use to try to figure out what’s wrong.

If on 8.4 click on the 3 bar menu in the upper right → Legacy → Console

Once the java application opens right click the device → MIB tools.

Depends on what’s wrong you’ll get a different error message when the device is contacted when the menu opens.

Timeout likely means SNMPv3 isn’t enabled, is not fully configured, or there’s a problem with the datapath.

Authorization error means there is a problem likely with the user authentication password or configuration

Encryption error means there’s a problem with the privacy configuration/password.

If it shows up green that means the device is up and SNMP contact is normal.

One thing to note, when you load up Console/MIB tools the SNMP traffic is sourced from your device and not the server itself, so if you do have SNMP contact issues keep that in mind.

Thanks

Hi Ryan,

I was able to get snmpv2 working but it seems as if the switch needs a reboot.

I will try snmpv3 after the reboot.

Would you have a sample snmpv3 configuration you could share with me?

Thanks, Klaus

Hello,

Here is an example SNMPv3 configuration in the lab.

Here is what I believe are the relevant configurations:

configure snmpv3 add user "snmpuser" engine-id 80:00:07:7c:03:00:04:96:9a:a5:68 authentication md5 auth-encrypted localized-key 23:24:43:67:44:41:5a:49:6c:64:68:67:55:56:44:64:4d:36:76:51:35:30:30:4a:6f:69:31:31:74:73:31:74:75:47:78:34:51:6d:30:59:64:66:77:71:34:6a:43:4b:78:52:48:4a:41:3d privacy privacy-encrypted localized-key 23:24:7a:4a:5a:57:48:70:65:38:58:31:39:58:4c:4e:70:6f:64:56:47:61:73:52:51:54:45:6c:4b:54:73:6d:78:56:2b:36:33:7a:75:36:79:51:42:6b:4c:55:79:44:4d:36:59:35:55:3d

configure snmpv3 add group "snmpgroup" user "snmpuser" sec-model usm

configure snmpv3 add access "snmpgroup" sec-model usm sec-level priv read-view "defaultAdminView" write-view "defaultAdminView" notify-view "defaultAdminView"

enable snmp access snmpv3

Here is an output of the snmp detail on the box. Please be aware that the majority of this configuration is actually pre-built snmp profiles on the box that really aren’t relevant, but you can maybe use them to see what’s different on your system:

Hello Ryan,

Access via snmpv3 is working now.

Thank you very much,

Klaus
