snmpv3 on HP Devices

Votes:

0

Hello PRTG community, We have a small but important problem with snmpv3 and our new HP Switches. (HP5900, HP5800). Because of our redundancy concept we have to monitor individual Ports and this we can do with snmp traffic Sensor! When we add this sensor, we always getting follow message: "SNMPERR_AUTHENTICATION_FAILURE (SNMP-Fehler # -35)" But the snmp settings are defiantly OK. We also tried it with Paessler SNMP Tester and here we get a response of this device, with exactly the same settings!!! Settings: Snmp Version: V3 V3 snmp User: admin V3 Authentication: SHA V3 Password: JUSTAPASSWORD Encryption: DES V3 Encryption Key: JUSTASECKEY

Hello,

thank you very much for your KB Post. May I ask, which exact version of PRTG you are running? Can you please also upload the successful SNMP Tester Log?

Best regards.

Please update to PRTG 13.3.5. The SNMPv3 support was improved a lot in the last PRTG versions. So it's very likely the problem is gone after updating.
