Hi,

I'm new to Aruba switches and learning along the way.

Most of our infrstructure is Cisco but we have decided to try Aruba switches as an alternative.

I wish to set up SNMPv3 on our Aruba switches with Solarwinds being our NMS. But seem to be struggling.

Could someone provide me with some help.

Hear is an example config I have used:

snmpv3 enable

snmpv3 user test_user auth md5 xxxxxxx priv aes xxxxxxxx

snmpv3 group managerpriv user test_user sec-model ver3

snmpv3 targetaddress "Solarwinds" params "Solarwinds" 192.x.x.x

(not sure if the above command is correct)

All user name and accounts are configured correctly on solarwinds and work as it is the same config that works with our Ciscos.

When I run network discovery on solarwinds the switch is not discovered but it is reachable.

What config am I missing ? Could someone walk me through please ?

it seems you have the corrcet commands.

i would also use this command to delete the 'initial' user created when SNMPv3 was enabled

"no snmpv3 user initial"

for testing remove the "snmpv3 targetaddress " command.

Then try these show commonds to see if it helps you narrow it down.

show log -r

sh snmpv3 users
sh snmpv3 view

Hi, I also use the nofify command, so then you can include that in the target

such as:

  snmpv3 notify "MyNotification" tagvalue "Mytag"

  snmpv3 targetaddress "Servername" params "paramsname" x.x.x.x taglist "Mytag"

As has also been suggested, I also remove the initial user and set restricted access:

no snmp-server community public

no snmpv3 user initial

snmpv3 restricted-access

snmpv3 only

Hope that helps!
