SNMPv3 authorizationError

    Hi,
    I'm configuring SNMPv3 at controller. I already created user with appropriate credentials and trap receiver.
    But I have some issue. During testing from snmpwalk I'm getting next error:

    Error in packet.
    Reason: authorizationError (access denied to that object)

    What does it mean and how can I solve this problem? I'm using ArubaOS 6.3.1.13.

    What command are you using to do the SNMPwalk?

    cjoseph, I'm using

    snmpwalk -v3 -a sha -A 1234567890 -u test -x DES -X 1234567890 controller_ip_address sysName

     

    controller config is:

    (____) #show running-config | include snmp
    Building Configuration...
    netservice svc-snmp-trap udp 162
    netservice svc-snmp udp 161
    snmp-server community "public"
    snmp-server user "test" auth-prot sha ****** priv-prot des ******
    snmp-server enable trap
    snmp-server host controller_ip_address version 3 test engine-id 000039e7000000a1ac1b0017 udp-port 162

    YuriyBozhko,

     

    Here is what I did:

     

    controller:

    config t
    snmp-server user user1 auth-prot md5 password1 priv-prot aes password1
    

     

    Linux box:

    snmpwalk -v3 -l authpriv -u user1 -a MD5 -A password1 -x AES -X password1 192.168.1.3 system
    Did not find 'zeroDotZero' in module SNMPv2-SMI (/usr/local/airwave/share/snmp/mibs/diffserv.my)

    thank you, .
    I tried your config, and yes it works...
    But how can I communicate controller with AirWave?
    Should I use this user in Trap receivers (at controller) or just enter credentials in AirWave to poll device automatically?

    Here is what I did for polling.  I used MD5 and DES:

     

    On the Controller:

    config t

    snmp-server user "user1" auth-prot md5 password1  priv-prot AES password1

    (on the controller use the commandline.  There seems to be a problem with entering SNMPv3 credentials on the GUI).

     

    in Airwave:

    v3.png

     

    After doing that and saving, go back to the monitoring tab and click on poll now once:

     

    v3v2.png

     

    Keep refreshing the page and the status should show Up(ok) and the Last contacted should be the current time.  If the Status shows SNMP failed, go back and check your work.

     

    If that is working, setup SNMPv3 Traps on Airwave and the controller by following the instructions here:  You can setup SNMP v3 traps on Airwave and the controller using the instructions here:  http://community.arubanetworks.com/t5/Monitoring-Management-Location/How-to-configure-traps-when-using-snmpv3-for-Airwave-and/ta-p/242731

    , thank you.
    To say the truth, I made all steps described by you. And finally YES, it works!!!
    I think, my problem was that I was doing all configuration in GUI...
