SNMPv3 EngineID
Hi, During the discovery and other interactions with a SNMPv3 configured device SL1 is using USM to retrieve the EngineID. The EngineID is used to set-up a secure connection as far as we can seen in our traces. SL1 is not using the EngineID from the USM discovery to store it in the CDB. SL1 will try to collect the EngineID as part of snmpEngineID.0 of the SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB [RFC3411]. Not all devices (Avaya/some HP's, probably more) are supporting the snmpEngineID.0 of the SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB. The request is to expand the SNMPv3 EngineID process with a second method as USM. See RFC 5343 chapter 3.2 for more details. Alfred
