SNMP V3 Listener will not receive traps

[dcolleli]

We have setup a V3 SNMP Trap Listener configured with Security Level: noAuthNoPriv.

We have tested sending test traps from a storage application to this listener IP address  using No Authentication, but we get an ERROR > TEST SNMP Failed: Wrong user name.

The Storage application requires a Security user name configuration to send the traps. We have tested using the following Security User Names: public, noAuthUser, and created test credentials that were created in the MidServer which were used as the user name still receiving the same error. TEST SNMP Failed: Wrong user name

Has anyone come across this issue or know what Security User Name should be used to send the v3 traps?

Thanks,

Dan

Ryan you need to gold star this response as I haven't heard a better explanation of how this works then this. Great explanation.

Although one follow-up if what you say is true Ryan wouldn't the trap listener need to know the engineIDs of all those sending it traps or is it just auto accepting?
