Restart SNMP probe(v3) when integrated system are restarted

Question & Answer


Question

Is there anything else that can be done in this situation, or every time when something is changed on devices, the probe needs to be restarted?

Cause

Use command line commands to reset the engine parameters.

Answer

The below is mentioned in the guide:

For SNMPv3 it is not recommended to replay traps out of sequence or repeatedly, as this can break the SNMPv3 security. If traps need to be replayed more than once, the MTTrapd probe should be restarted before the traps are replayed

The alternative is to use command line commands to reset the engine parameters. Please find more here:
