Snmp Setup

SNMP setup is quite simple. Please note that this page needs testing before it's a propper howto. I've changed between IE7 and lcli and snmpwalk to figure out what works.

switch# show startup

snmp-server location kjelleren
snmp-server contact "Nicolai Langfeldt"
snmp-server engineID local 80000f730300226b291cc3

...
switch# show snmp users

       Name               Group name        Auth            Remote
                                            Method
------------------- ----------------------- ------- -----------------------
       munin            groupv3readauth       SHA

The user "munin" was defined with a password and as local.

As you see the user database is not in the startup configuration.

Having these things set up I was able to use snmpwalk:

snmpwalk -v 3 -a SHA -l authNoPriv -u munin -A *password* switch .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3

It was impossible to get this working without specifying the security level (-l authNoPriv). With perls Net::SNMP module it was easiser since it deducts the correct security level.
