Various SNMP versions

SNMPv1

Send SNMP GET request using the following options:

  • with SNMPv1, community ‘public’
  • over IPv4/UDP
  • to an Agent at demo.snmplabs.com:161
  • for an instance of SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 MIB object
  • Based on trollius I/O framework

Functionally similar to:

$ snmpget -v1 -c public demo.snmplabs.com SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0
import trollius
from pysnmp.hlapi.asyncio import *

@trollius.coroutine
def run():
    snmpEngine = SnmpEngine()
    errorIndication, errorStatus, \
    errorIndex, varBinds = yield trollius.From(
        getCmd(snmpEngine,
               CommunityData('public', mpModel=0),
               UdpTransportTarget(('demo.snmplabs.com', 161)),
               ContextData(),
               ObjectType(ObjectIdentity('SNMPv2-MIB', 'sysDescr', 0)))
    )

    if errorIndication:
        print(errorIndication)
    elif errorStatus:
        print('%s at %s' % (
                errorStatus.prettyPrint(),
                errorIndex and varBinds[int(errorIndex)-1][0] or '?'
            )
        )
    else:
        for varBind in varBinds:
            print(' = '.join([ x.prettyPrint() for x in varBind ]))

    snmpEngine.transportDispatcher.closeDispatcher()

trollius.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(run())

Bulk walk MIB

Send a series of SNMP GETBULK requests using the following options:

  • with SNMPv3, user ‘usr-none-none’, no authentication, no privacy
  • over IPv4/UDP
  • to an Agent at demo.snmplabs.com:161
  • for all OIDs past SNMPv2-MIB::system
  • run till end-of-mib condition is reported by Agent
  • based on trollius I/O framework

Functionally similar to:

$ snmpbulkwalk -v3 -lnoAuthNoPriv -u usr-none-none -Cn0 -Cr50
demo.snmplabs.com SNMPv2-MIB::system
import trollius
from pysnmp.hlapi.asyncio import *

@trollius.coroutine
def run(varBinds):
    snmpEngine = SnmpEngine()
    while True:
        errorIndication, errorStatus, errorIndex, \
            varBindTable = yield trollius.From(
                bulkCmd(snmpEngine,
                        UsmUserData('usr-none-none'),
                        UdpTransportTarget(('demo.snmplabs.com', 161)),
                        ContextData(),
                        0, 50,
                        *varBinds)
            )

        if errorIndication:
            print(errorIndication)
            break
        elif errorStatus:
            print('%s at %s' % (
                    errorStatus.prettyPrint(),
                    errorIndex and varBinds[int(errorIndex)-1][0] or '?'
                )
            )
        else:
            for varBindRow in varBindTable:
                for varBind in varBindRow:
                    print(' = '.join([ x.prettyPrint() for x in varBind ]))

        varBinds = varBindTable[-1]
        if isEndOfMib(varBinds):
            break

    snmpEngine.transportDispatcher.closeDispatcher()

loop = trollius.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(
    run([ObjectType(ObjectIdentity('SNMPv2-MIB', 'sysDescr'))])
)
