Manually add a SNMPv3 device in Airwave

  • 1.  Manually add a SNMPv3 device in Airwave

    Posted Apr 24, 2014 12:46 PM

     

    I am trying to add some router/switches to be monitored using SNMPv3 in Airwave 

     

    I have left the setup for the router/switches on the Device Setup>Communications page at the defaults.

    From the Device Setup>Add window I select Router/Switch and fill in all of the values for SNMPv3, leaving the community string feilds blank as I am not using V2

     

    When I add the device Airwave is unable to poll. I see an SNMP get failed.

    I know the configuration on the switch is good as I have tested with another utility and I am able to connect without a problem.

    I looks to me like AMP is trying to connect using SNMPv2

     

    Is there some part of my AirWave setup I have missed?

     

    Cheers,

    In the Airwave Group your device is in, you need to change the SNMP Version to 3.  It is 2c by default

    After applying the above, I was still having issues getting Cisco 9300 Switch added via SNMPv3. 

     

    Below was output when debugging SNMP packet/session/headers:

    Incoming SNMP packet
    005554: Feb 15 09:08:57.694: v3 packet security model: v3 security level: noauth
    005555: Feb 15 09:08:57.694: username: xxxxxxxxx

     

    Airwave was getting no SNMP reponse from device. 

    After some trial and error, the CLI on Switch command fixed the SNMP No Auth error.

    snmp-server user xxxxxxxxx ***SNMP Group*** v3 auth md5 ****Key**** priv aes 128 ****Key****

     

    (Pre-Existing SNMP Command)

         - snmp-server group ***SNMP Group*** v3 auth

     

    Afterwards, the debug output shows security level: AUTH as shown below:

    Incoming SNMP packet
    009248: Feb 15 09:34:57.223: v3 packet security model: v3 security level:
    auth
    009249: Feb 15 09:34:57.223: username: XXXXXXXXXX

     

    Airwave now able to poll switch via SNMPv3.
