I am new in using PySNMP module in Python. According to this user manual and this manual, the following python scripts perform similar things like the net-snmp command:
net-snmp v1 command:
snmpget -v1 -c public -ObentU 195.218.195.228 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0
Python v1 script:
from twisted.internet import reactor, defer
from pysnmp.entity import engine, config
from pysnmp.entity.rfc3413.twisted import cmdgen
from pysnmp.carrier.twisted import dispatch
from pysnmp.carrier.twisted.dgram import udp
# Create SNMP engine instance
snmpEngine = engine.SnmpEngine()
# Instantiate and register Twisted dispatcher at SNMP engine
snmpEngine.registerTransportDispatcher(dispatch.TwistedDispatcher())
#
# SNMPv1 setup
#
# SecurityName <-> CommunityName mapping
config.addV1System(snmpEngine, 'my-area', 'public')
# Specify security settings per SecurityName (SNMPv1 - 0, SNMPv2c - 1)
config.addTargetParams(snmpEngine, 'my-creds', 'my-area', 'noAuthNoPriv', 0)
#
# Setup transport endpoint and bind it with security settings yielding
# a target name
#
# UDP/IPv4
config.addSocketTransport(
snmpEngine,
udp.domainName,
udp.UdpTwistedTransport().openClientMode()
)
config.addTargetAddr(
snmpEngine, 'my-router',
udp.domainName, ('195.218.195.228', 161),
'my-creds'
)
# Error/response receiver
def cbFun(cbCtx):
(errorIndication, errorStatus, errorIndex, varBinds) = cbCtx
if errorIndication:
print(errorIndication)
# SNMPv1 response may contain noSuchName error *and* SNMPv2c exception,
# so we ignore noSuchName error here
elif errorStatus and errorStatus != 2:
print('%s at %s' % (
errorStatus.prettyPrint(),
errorIndex and varBinds[int(errorIndex)-1][0] or '?'
)
)
else:
for oid, val in varBinds:
print('%s = %s' % (oid.prettyPrint(), val.prettyPrint()))
reactor.stop()
# Prepare request to be sent yielding Twisted deferred object
df = cmdgen.GetCommandGenerator().sendReq(
snmpEngine,
'my-router',
( ('1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0', None), ('1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2.0', None) ),
)
# Register error/response receiver function at deferred
df.addCallback(cbFun)
# Run Twisted main loop
reactor.run()
net-snmp v3 command:
snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u usr-sha-aes -a SHA -A authkey1 -x AES -X privkey1 -ObentU 195.218.195.228:161 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0
Python v3 script:
from twisted.internet import reactor, defer
from pysnmp.entity import engine, config
from pysnmp.entity.rfc3413.twisted import cmdgen
from pysnmp.carrier.twisted import dispatch
from pysnmp.carrier.twisted.dgram import udp
# Create SNMP engine instance
snmpEngine = engine.SnmpEngine()
# Instantiate and register Twisted dispatcher at SNMP engine
snmpEngine.registerTransportDispatcher(dispatch.TwistedDispatcher())
#
# SNMPv3/USM setup
#
# user: usr-sha-aes, auth: SHA, priv AES
config.addV3User(
snmpEngine, 'usr-sha-aes',
config.usmHMACSHAAuthProtocol, 'authkey1',
config.usmAesCfb128Protocol, 'privkey1'
)
config.addTargetParams(snmpEngine, 'my-creds', 'usr-sha-aes', 'authPriv')
#
# Setup transport endpoint and bind it with security settings yielding
# a target name
#
# UDP/IPv4
config.addSocketTransport(
snmpEngine,
udp.domainName,
udp.UdpTwistedTransport().openClientMode()
)
config.addTargetAddr(
snmpEngine, 'my-router',
udp.domainName, ('195.218.195.228', 161),
'my-creds'
)
# Error/response receiver
def cbFun(cbCtx):
(errorIndication, errorStatus, errorIndex, varBinds) = cbCtx
if errorIndication:
print(errorIndication)
elif errorStatus:
print('%s at %s' % (
errorStatus.prettyPrint(),
errorIndex and varBinds[int(errorIndex)-1][0] or '?'
)
)
else:
for oid, val in varBinds:
print('%s = %s' % (oid.prettyPrint(), val.prettyPrint()))
reactor.stop()
# Prepare request to be sent yielding Twisted deferred object
df = cmdgen.GetCommandGenerator().sendReq(
snmpEngine,
'my-router',
( ('1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0', None), ),
)
# Register error/response receiver function at deferred
df.addCallback(cbFun)
# Run Twisted main loop
reactor.run()
In the above net-snmp commands, you can see that there is no 'my-creds', 'my-area', and 'my-router' parameters. However, these parameters are used in the Python scripts.
May I know what is 'my-creds', 'my-area', and 'my-router' in these Python PySNMP scripts?
