SNMPv3 to SNMPv1 proxy

In this configuration SNMP Proxy Forwarder performs translation between SNMP versions.

You could test this configuration by running:

$ snmpwalk -v3 -lauthPriv -u test-user  -A authkey1 -X privkey1 127.0.0.1:1161 system

Server configuration

Server is configured to:

• listen on UDP socket at localhost

• respond to queries performed as an SNMPv3 USM user

• forward all queries to snmpfwd client through an unencrypted trunk connection running in client mode

Client configuration

Client is configured to:

• listen on server-mode unencrypted trunk connection

• process all incoming SNMP messages in the same way

• place inbound PDUs into SNMP v1 messages and forward them to public SNMP agent running at demo.pysnmp.com
