SNMPv3 Request and HPEiLOCmdlets

ConradC1 — Wed, 06 Sep 2023 11:46:21 GMT

Hi. I can't seem to find the PowerShell commandlet to enable "SNMPv3 Request" (on iLO Firmware Version 2.91). I would assume it's under Set-HPEiLOAccessSetting, but I don't see it there. Thanks in advance!!

@shiva_jr Hi Shiva_JR,

I've previously checked those cmdlets and they do not have the "SNMPv3 Request" parameter. To give a little context. I have a few ILOs on v2.71. "SNMPv3 Request" does not appear anywhere in the GUI. On v2.91 (and possibly a few version prior) a new option appeared called, "SNMPv3 Request" under Management/SNMP Settings. For some reason, this needs to be checked/enabled to allow SNMPv3 users to work, otherwise you get "Unknown user name" error (via SNMPwalk). I would like to attach a screen capture, as it would better explain, but that isn't an option here.

Per testing, Set-HPEiLOSNMPAlertSetting does have a parameter -SNMPv1Enabled, and that does enable "SNMPv1 Request". So the logical parameter would be -SNMPv3Enabled. But it's not there. I have a feeling that there is no parameter to enable "SNMPv3 Request" yet. I'm currently using HPEiLOCmdlets v4.2.

Hi, @Kashyap02

Which cmdlet specifically has set/get "SNMPv3 Request" in the doc? None of the SNMP cmdlets have the "SNMPv3 Request" parameter, only "SNMPv1 Request".

Hello HPE Support,

Please note that with the latest powershell cmdlet 4.2.0.0 modules from HPE to access the iLO management system , any of the SNMP cmdlet Get cmdlet will not show the parameter name SNMPv3 Request and SNMPv3 Trap under SNMP Alerts. I have tested all below cmdlet available on the latest modules and none of them will show any output related to SNMPv3 Request and SNMPv3 Trap settings under SNMP Alerts, except only for SNMPv1

Get-HPEiLOSNMPAlertDestination

Get-HPEiLOSNMPAlertSetting

Get-HPEiLOSNMPSetting

Get-HPEiLOSNMPv3Setting

Get-HPEiLOSNMPv3User

Please provide the updated version for this module in order for us to access the setting accordingly.

Thanks!

Hi,

Provide us the steps you are following to configure SNMPv3 Requests.

Also is your config correct on ILO and are you able to receive test mails?

Hi @Kashyap02 ,

That's my current issue. I can't create anything because the current version of HPEiLOCmdlets (4.2.0.0) do not have any option to enable/disable "SNMPv3 Requests". HPE Employees keep getting push to guides blindly (without even checking themselves). It looks like even MD_ISKANDAR, in a post above, can confirm it's missing.

Hi,

Understtod. I recommend to open a formal support case with HPE to investigate further.
