SNMPv3: master auth and privacy keys#

Send SNMP GET request using the following options:

  • with SNMPv3, user ‘usr-md5-des’, MD5 authentication, DES encryption

  • use master auth and privacy keys instead of pass-phrase

  • over IPv4/UDP

  • to an Agent at demo.pysnmp.com:161

  • for SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 MIB object instance

Functionally similar to:

$ snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u usr-md5-des -3m 0x1dcf59e86553b3afa5d32fd5d61bf0cf -3M 0xec5ab55e93e1d85cb6846d0f23e845e0 demo.pysnmp.com SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0

SNMPv3: localized auth and privacy keys#

Send SNMP GET request using the following options:

  • with SNMPv3, user ‘usr-md5-des’, MD5 authentication, DES encryption

  • use localized auth and privacy keys instead of pass-phrase or master keys

  • configure authoritative SNMP engine ID (0x0000000000 can be used as well)

  • over IPv4/UDP

  • to an Agent at demo.pysnmp.com:161

  • for SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 MIB object instance

Functionally similar to:

Concurrent queries#

Send multiple SNMP GET requests at once using the following options:

  • with SNMPv2c, community ‘public’

  • over IPv4/UDP

  • to multiple Agents at demo.pysnmp.com

  • for instance of SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 MIB object

  • based on asyncio I/O framework

Functionally similar to:
