Multiple managers operations¶
SNMPv3 framework is designed to allow Agents sending the same PDU to multiple Managers over different network transports, listening at different network addresses over different SNMP versions/credentials.
The following few examples use this facility.
Notification to multiple addresses¶
Send SNMP TRAP notifications to multiple Managers using different security settings:
- SNMPv2c
- with community name ‘public’
- over IPv4/UDP
- send TRAP notification
- to multiple Managers at 104.236.166.95:162, 104.236.166.95:162
- with TRAP ID ‘coldStart’ specified as an OID
- include managed objects information: 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0 = ‘Example Notificator’ 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0 = ‘Notificator Example’
Functionally similar to:
$ snmptrap -v2c -c public 104.236.166.95 0 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.1 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0 s ‘Example notification’ 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0 s ‘Notificator Example’
$ snmptrap -v2c -c public 104.236.166.95 0 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.1 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0 s ‘Example notification’ 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0 s ‘Notificator Example’

Notification to multiple SNMP managers¶
Send SNMP TRAP notifications to multiple Managers using the following options:

Notification over multiple SNMP versions¶
Send SNMP INFORM notifications to multiple Managers using different security settings:
- SNMPv2c
- with community name ‘public’
- AND
- SNMPv3
- with user ‘usr-md5-none’, auth: MD5, priv NONE
- over IPv4/UDP
- send INFORM notification
- to multiple Managers at 104.236.166.95:162, 104.236.166.95:162
