Issue	SNMP receiver is not receiving the Authentication Manager traps, even after checking the configuration on both ends. SNMP command line utilities snmpwalk, snmpget and snmptrap return "No Such Object available on this agent at this OID". By checking the SNMP configuration file /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf, the proxy line is corrupted as shown below: am81p:~ # cat /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf ########################################################################### # # snmpd.conf # # - created by the snmpconf configuration program # ########################################################################### createUser snmp_f0cb53ds rouser snmp_f0cb53ds noauth .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021 iquerySecName snmp_f0cb53ds agentSecName snmp_f0cb53ds ########################################################################### agentaddress 161 proxy -v 3 -u rsasnmp -l noAuthNoPriv 127.0.0.1:8002 .1.3.6.1.4.1.2197 proxy -v 3 -u secidnonprod -l authPriv -a SHA -A 5M%;aPJ8T9proxy -v 3 -u secidnonprod -l authPriv -a SHA -A 5M%;aPJ8T9proxy -v 3 -u secidnonprod -l authPriv -a SHA -A 5M%;aPJ8T9proxy -v 3 -u secidnonprod -l authPriv -a SHA -A 5M%;aPJ8T9proxy -v 3 -u secidnonprod -l authPriv -a SHA -A 5M%;aPJ8T9proxy -v 3 -u secidnonprod -l authPriv -a SHA -A 5M%;aPJ8T9proxy -v 3 -u secidnonprod -l authPriv -a SHA -A 5M%;aPJ8T9proxy -v 3 -u secidnonprod -l authPriv -a SHA -A 5M%;aPJ8T9proxy -v 3 -u secidnonprod -l authPriv -a SHA -A 5M%;aPJ8T9proxy -v 3 -u secidnonprod -l authPriv -a SHA -A 5M%;aPJ8T9proxy -v 3 -u secidnonprod -l authPriv -a SHA -A 5M%;aPJ8T9proxy -v 3 -a SHA -A authPassword -x DES -X privPassword -l authPriv agentuser 127.0.0.1:8002 .1.3.6.1.4.1.2197DcEYRJGGjKBU;J -x DES -X 5dAADtHLwqUjqW8rxQJR$ 127.0.0.1:8002 .1.3.6.1.4.1.2197DcEYRJGGjKBU;J -x DES -X 5dAADtHLwqUjqW8rxQJR$ 127.0.0.1:8002 .1.3.6.1.4.1.2197DcEYRJGGjKBU;J -x DES -X 5dAADtHLwqUjqW8rxQJR$ 127.0.0.1:8002 .1.3.6.1.4.1.2197DcEYRJGGjKBU;J -x DES -X 5dAADtHLwqUjqW8rxQJR$ 127.0.0.1:8002 .1.3.6.1.4.1.2197DcEYRJGGjKBU;J -x DES -X 5dAADtHLwqUjqW8rxQJR$ 127.0.0.1:8002 .1.3.6.1.4.1.2197DcEYRJGGjKBU;J -x DES -X 5dAADtHLwqUjqW8rxQJR$ 127.0.0.1:8002 .1.3.6.1.4.1.2197DcEYRJGGjKBU;J -x DES -X 5dAADtHLwqUjqW8rxQJR$ 127.0.0.1:8002 .1.3.6.1.4.1.2197DcEYRJGGjKBU;J -x DES -X 5dAADtHLwqUjqW8rxQJR$ 127.0.0.1:8002 .1.3.6.1.4.1.2197DcEYRJGGjKBU;J -x DES -X 5dAADtHLwqUjqW8rxQJR$ 127.0.0.1:8002 .1.3.6.1.4.1.2197DcEYRJGGjKBU;J -x DES -X 5dAADtHLwqUjqW8rxQJR$ 127.0.0.1:8002 .1.3.6.1.4.1.2197DcEYRJGGjKBU;J -x DES -X 5dAADtHLwqUjqW8rxQJR$ 127.0.0.1:8002 .1.3.6.1.4.1.2197 disk / 1% load 100.01 100.02 100.03 #monitor -S -r 600 -o dskPath -o dskErrorMsg "disk free space below threshhold" dskErrorFlag != 0 #monitor -S -r 600 -o laNames -o laErrMessage "load above threshhold" laErrorFlag != 0 #monitor -S -r 600 -o memTotalFree -o memTotalReal "total free memory below threshhold" memTotalFree < 1024 #trapsess -v 3 -u remoteuser -a MD5 -A authPassword -x DES -X privPassword -l authPriv 1.2.3.4 The expected configuration file should look like the below: am81p:~ # cat /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf ########################################################################### # # snmpd.conf # # - created by the snmpconf configuration program # ########################################################################### createUser snmp_f0cb53ds rouser snmp_f0cb53ds noauth .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021 iquerySecName snmp_f0cb53ds agentSecName snmp_f0cb53ds ########################################################################### agentaddress 162 proxy -v 3 -u snmpuser -l authNoPriv -a MD5 -A deRSAPwd% 127.0.0.1:8002 .1.3.6.1.4.1.2197 disk / 1% load 100.01 100.02 100.03 #monitor -S -r 600 -o dskPath -o dskErrorMsg "disk free space below threshhold" dskErrorFlag != 0 #monitor -S -r 600 -o laNames -o laErrMessage "load above threshhold" laErrorFlag != 0 #monitor -S -r 600 -o memTotalFree -o memTotalReal "total free memory below threshhold" memTotalFree < 1024 #trapsess -v 3 -u remoteuser -a MD5 -A authPassword -x DES -X privPassword -l authPriv 1.2.3.4
