Description
When SNMP communication using an unauthenticated community name is performed with the device displaying the message, one of the following messages is output in the event log.
"Authentication Failure Trap" or "user authentication failure" |
Corrective Action
Check the following:
Check the SNMP settings of the device for which the message is displayed, considering the following points.
Does the SNMP community name match one that is registered with ROR
Has configuration been performed to enable SNMP communication from the admin server (Has it been configured to only allow local access)
Has the necessary configuration of the device been performed
Example
For PRIMERGY Servers with ServerView Linux Agents Installed
Perform configuration to allow access using the SNMP community name (public) from local hosts, for internal communication.
[Linux]
If it is not already specified, add the following to /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf.
com2sec svSec localhost public |
When the SNMP settings for ROR and the device are correct, it is possible that access has been performed using something other than ROR, with a different SNMP community name. Check the SNMP log to find the relevant device or software.
