Thanks Harti.

I did get the basic V3 configuration working in that I could walk the mib u=
sing authorization and encryption.

If Shteryana has the time, maybe he would be able to provide me with some i=
nformation needed to configure and test V3 traps.

I don't have his e-mail so if you could forward this to him I would appreci=
ate it.

Thanks!

Tony

I can answer only this question - I'm not very familiar with SNMPv3, but Sh=
teryana should be able to help.

No, there is no document with all the setting. The reason is simple: the co=
nfig file is just a set of SNMP SET PDUs executed at startup, SIGHUP or mod=
ule load. The file is segmented into sections by %name lines with all segme=
nts having the same name beeing put together. At the begin of the file ther=
e is an implicit %snmpd line.

Each section is a SET PDU. The %snmpd PDU is executed on startup and SIGHUP=
, all other sections are executed when the corresponding module is beeing l=
oaded or on SIGHUP if that module is already loaded when the SIGHUP occures=
.

So any writeable or creatable MIB variable can be put into the configuratio=
n file.
