How to use SNMPv3 credential manager for authentication on OpManager

OpManager is a network monitoring software that can automatically discover your network, group your devices, services, process status and so on.
Credential Manager allows to add credentials in many formats like telnet,ssh,snmp and so on.

In our previous session we have seen the installation of OpManager on centos 7

Move to your OpManager interface
Snap1
Go to inventory which comprises of the list of devices (By default my localhost gets added soon after installing the OpManager)
2

Click on your device
3
Go to edit device details and add the vendor details, category, type.
4
Now click on settings and go to discovery in that select credentials tab and finally click Add credentials
5
6 
Select SNMPv3 ( which is secured one compared to SNMPv1/v2)
7
The values are need to be added after configuring snmp on client side
8
Foe that install snmp and its required packages on client machine

Complete!

Now check the status of snmpd


[root@linuxhelp ~\]# systemctl status snmpd
● snmpd.service - Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Daemon.
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/snmpd.service  disabled  vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)
Now there are 3 types to configure snmpv3
&bull     Command Line
&bull     Interactive
&bull     Manual

select any one of the method and create SNMPv3 user, here command line mode is used, Backup the old configuration file before creating user.

[root@linuxhelp ~\]#   mv /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf.old 
Use the following to create
[root@linuxhelp ~\]# net-snmp-config --create-snmpv3-user -A Net@123 -X alerts -a SHA -x AES alert@123
adding the following line to /var/lib/net-snmp/snmpd.conf:
   createUser alert@123 SHA " Net@123"  AES alerts
adding the following line to /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf:
   rwuser alert@123

Now move to your OpManager under settings, go to credentials tab and &ldquo Add credential&rdquo

We have successfully added credentials, before associating it start and enable the snmpd service

[root@linuxhelp ~\]# systemctl start snmpd
[root@linuxhelp ~\]# systemctl enable snmpd
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/snmpd.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/snmpd.service.

Under settings we have basic settings configuration comprising of mail settings, credentials etc.
13
The added device is displayed in &ldquo Inventory&rdquo

15
Edit credentials (telnet,ssh,net-snmp)
16
17
In that &ldquo Click here to change password&rdquo there choose SNMP credentials and apply them globally
18Now click Monitor icon

Frequently asked questions ( 5 )

Q

How do I receive SNMPv1 traps?

A

Directives in the 'snmptrapd.conf' file use the (SNMPv2) snmpTrapOID value to identify individual notifications. This applies to *all* versions of SNMP - including SNMPv1 traps. See the co-existence spec (RFC 2576) for details of mapping SNMPv1 traps to SNMPv2 OIDs.

Q

How do I use SNMPv3?

A

The simplest form of SNMPv3 request is unauthenticated and unencrypted (noAuthNoPriv). It simply requires a user name, and would look something like:

snmpget -v 3 -l noAuthNoPriv -u dave localhost sysUpTime.0

Q

Why can't I set any variables in the MIB?

A

There are three possible reasons for this:
Many MIB objects are defined as "read-only" and inherently cannot be changed via SET requests. Attempts to do so will typically be rejected by the 'snmpset' command without ever being sent to the agent.

Q

Why do I sometimes get "End of MIB" when walking a tree, and sometimes not?

A

This depends on which MIB modules are supported by the agent you are querying and exactly what you're asking for.

Q

Why I can see the system group, but nothing else. Why?

A

The easiest way to test this is to try a GETNEXT request on one of the other standard groups

e.g.
snmpgetnext ..... interfaces
