SNMPv3 Prfile import /export

[clyde.franklin]

 I have a current SNMP  profile using snmpv3.  This setup in Panorama is in production. In the event  i want to mimic this SNMPv3 profile in my lab Panorama is it possible import  just the SNMPv3  profile portion of config with the encrpyted password as well into my lab from prod or would I have to manually type snmp auth/priv passwords in lab box ? lab box isnt in same panorama so  i cant add lab devices to prod Panorama. I ask because I dont know the auth/priv SNMP credentials.

Hi @clyde.franklin,

Yes, that seems to work.

This is how I did it :

- Open XML from device A

- Copy everything between the <snmp-setting>...</snmp-setting> tags.  (include the tags).

- Open XML from device B

- Replace he <snmp-setting>...</snmp-setting> code with the code from device A

- Save the file.

- Import and load the config on device B and commit.

Now I can perfectly query device B ... I do need the auth pwd and priv pwd in my query :

kiwi$ snmpget -v 3 -u kiwi -l authPriv -a SHA -A <auth pwd> -x AES -X <priv pwd> 10.192.16.241 .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0

SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: Palo Alto Networks PA-3000 series firewall

I hope this helps.

Cheers !
