Transport tweaks¶

Serving multiple network interfaces¶

Receive SNMP TRAP/INFORM messages with the following options:

SNMPv1/SNMPv2c
with SNMP community “public”
listen on two local network interfaces:
- IPv4/UDP, listening at 127.0.0.1:162
- IPv4/UDP, listening at 127.0.0.1:2162
using Twisted framework for network transport
print received data on stdout

Either of the following Net-SNMP commands will send notifications to this receiver:

$ snmptrap -v2c -c public 127.0.0.1:162 123 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.1 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0 s test

$ snmpinform -v2c -c public 127.0.0.1:2162 123 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.1

# Create SNMP engine with autogenernated engineID and pre-bound
# to socket transport dispatcher

# Transport setup

# UDP over IPv4, first listening interface/port
config.addTransport(
    snmpEngine,
    udp.DOMAIN_NAME + (1,),
    udp.UdpTwistedTransport().openServerMode(('127.0.0.1', 162))
)

# UDP over IPv4, second listening interface/port
config.addTransport(
    snmpEngine,
    udp.DOMAIN_NAME + (2,),
    udp.UdpTwistedTransport().openServerMode(('127.0.0.1', 2162))
)

# SNMPv1/2c setup

# SecurityName <-> CommunityName mapping
config.addV1System(snmpEngine, 'my-area', 'public')


# Callback function for receiving notifications
# noinspection PyUnusedLocal,PyUnusedLocal,PyUnusedLocal
def cbFun(snmpEngine, stateReference, contextEngineId, contextName,
          varBinds, cbCtx):
    print('Notification from ContextEngineId "%s", '
          'Context "%s"' % (contextEngineId.prettyPrint(),
                            contextName.prettyPrint()))
    for name, val in varBinds:
        print('%s = %s' % (name.prettyPrint(), val.prettyPrint()))


# Register SNMP Application at the SNMP engine
ntfrcv.NotificationReceiver(snmpEngine, cbFun)

# Run Twisted main loop
reactor.run()
