Various SNMP versions

Multiple SNMP USM users

Listen and respond to SNMP GET/SET/GETNEXT/GETBULK queries with the following options:

• SNMPv3

• with USM user:

  • ‘usr-md5-des’, auth: MD5, priv DES or
  • ‘usr-sha-none’, auth: SHA, no privacy
  • ‘usr-sha-aes128’, auth: SHA, priv AES

• allow access to SNMPv2-MIB objects (1.3.6.1.2.1)
• over IPv4/UDP, listening at 127.0.0.1:161
• using asyncio network transport (available since Python 3.4)

Either of the following Net-SNMP commands will walk this Agent:

$ snmpwalk -v3 -u usr-md5-des -l authPriv -A authkey1 -X privkey1 localhost .1.3.6

$ snmpwalk -v3 -u usr-sha-none -l authNoPriv -a SHA -A authkey1 localhost .1.3.6

$ snmpwalk -v3 -u usr-sha-aes128 -l authPriv -a SHA -A authkey1 -x AES -X privkey1 localhost .1.3.6

Requires Python 3.4 and later!
