To configure authentication details for accessing Rhino’s SNMP subsystem, use the following rhino-console commands.

Unlike SNMP v1 and v2c which only use a named "community" for identification, SNMP v3 requires password authentication to connect to the Rhino SNMP agent.

The SNMP engine ID is used to distinguish SNMP engine instances in an administrative domain. If managing multiple Rhino clusters the engine ID will need to be configured. Use of engine IDs is defined in the SNMP v3 specification, v1 and v2c clients are not able to process this information.

setsnmpcommunity

Command

 
setsnmpcommunity <community>
  Description
    Sets the SNMP community.

setsnmpuserdetails

Command

 
setsnmpuserdetails <username> <authenticationProtocol> <authenticationKey>
<privacyProtocol> <privacyKey>
  Description

setsnmpuserengineid

Command

 
setsnmpuserengineid <hex string>
  Description
    Sets the user configurable portion of the SNMP LocalEngineID.
Note This only sets a user-configurable portion of the engine ID — not the entire engine ID. The SNMP agent calculates full engine ID from the OpenCloud enterprise OID, the node ID, and the user-configurable string.
Warning You need to change the user-configurable string only if the SNMP agent needs to distinguish between different clusters on the same network.

getsnmpuserengineid

Command

 
getsnmpuserengineid
  Description
    Returns the user configurable portion of the SNMP LocalEngineID.

listsnmpengineids

Command

 
listsnmpengineids
  Description
    Lists the SNMP EngineIDs for each node.
Note Each node returns a different but similar engine ID.

enablesnmpversion

Command

 
enablesnmpversion <v1|v2c|v3>
  Description
    Enables support for the specified SNMP protocol version.
