  • 1.  Restful API/automated adding SNMPV3 Devices

    Posted May 19, 2017 03:28 PM

    We have SNMP v3 profiles in the Discovery Console.  I would like to be able to add V3 devices through the restful API.  Or, if that won't work, by scripting vnmsh commands.  In doc or this communities site, I have not seen mention of that ability.  

    Has anyone successfully added SNMP v3 devices to Spectrum via code and outside of the GUI console?

    Hi,

    the SNMPv3-Credentials are stored int he same attribute like the SNMPv1 or v2c-credentials.

    Have You tried to add a SNMPv3- device the same way like SNMPv1/2c-Devices could be added? I would say that this works the same way and the profiles are ignored in this case.

    Take a SNMPv3-Device, open the attributeEditor and You have to search for the Communty-Attribute.

    Take that Attribute to create new Devices.

    That should work.

     

    Best Regards

    Erich

    Yes, it works with v3.  If you are using sha and aes you need to pass the v3 comm string through a url decoder.

     

    Here's an example of using the default MD5 and DES:


    http://OChost:port/spectrum/restful/model?landscapeid=<landscapehandle>&ipaddress=<ip_address>&attr=0x1006e&val=<hostname>&agentport=161&commstring=#v3/P:specauth:specpriv/specuser&parentmh=<Universe_model_handle>&retry=3&timeout=3000

     

    Here's an example of using SHA and AES:


    http://OChost:port/spectrum/restful/model?landscapeid=<landscapehandle>&ipaddress=<ip_address>&attr=0x1006e&val=<hostname>&agentport=161&commstring=%23v3%2FP%3ASHA%specauth%3AAES%specpriv%2specuser&parentmh=<Universe_model_handle>&retry=3&timeout=3000
