Creating a simple trap receiver using snmp4j is not calling the processPdu method

naveenrajp · May 22, 2025, 9:32am

Hi,

i have created a simple trap receiver process but somehow i dont see the processPdu method is getting invoked. Please suggest what is missing here.
i am not able to understand what is going with the debug logs

The already bound address is the blocking error. You need to use a different port.

naveenrajp:

        StringBuilder hexString = new StringBuilder();
        for (byte b : engineID) {
            // Convert byte to integer, handle negative values correctly
            // (byte values range from -128 to 127)
            // (b & 0xFF) converts the signed byte to an unsigned integer (0-255)
            String hex = String.format("%02X", b & 0xFF);
            hexString.append(hex);
        }
        System.out.println("Local engineid:"+hexString.toString());

The above (AI generated code?) is probably better written as:

System.out.println("Local engineid:"+OctetString.fromByteArray(engineID).toHexString());

In addition, I recommend using SNMP4J 3.9.2 or later.

naveenrajp · May 23, 2025, 7:09pm

By using a different port for notification i still see the same problem that processPdu method is not invoked… Please suggest.

You have not added a SNMPv3 message processing model (MPV3) to the Snmp instance.

naveenrajp · May 25, 2025, 6:58pm

I have added the MPv3 model to snmp and now i am seeing not in time window error in output and because of this i dont see the processPdu method getting invoked. Please suggest i have added the auto discovery for the USM .

This is now the error: engineBoot of sender and receiver are inconsistent!

naveenrajp · May 27, 2025, 1:17pm

any update on earlier post related to authentication failure?? it is still in pending state?

naveenrajp · May 27, 2025, 1:18pm

i have configured the engineid and now i am not seeing the outside time window error any more but rather i am seeing the below error in the logs i have configured the proper authentication phrase and authentication algorithm any inputs on this?

@AGENTPP any inputs on what is causing this error will really help?

naveenrajp · May 29, 2025, 8:05am

any updates?? @AGENTPP

AGENTPP · May 29, 2025, 7:09pm

That means that your authentication passphrase is wrong, i.e., does not match with the trap sender passphrase. If the passphrase is the same, then you are probably have an error in the engine ID used. The trap sender is authoritative and therefore he engine ID of the notification sender must be used to localise the password to the key.

@AGENTPP i am setting the localization engine id when i am creating the usmuser so the authentication phrase and privacy phrase should be localized for the engineid right?

Then i am using the localization engineid to send the traps but this fails with the authentication failure not sure what i am missing here?

i have also brought up the snmptrap daemon with the same configuration and when i send the trap to net-snmp trap daemon i could see that the authentication is successful and the trap message is decrypted properly and information is getting printed in the trap daemon logs.

so the configuration seems to be ok what i am missing in my java implementation to have this working is what i am trying to figure out… any inputs on this is highly appreciated.

Output:

naveenrajp:

UsmUser  user = new UsmUser (new OctetString(SNMP_USER),
                authProtocol.getID(),
                new OctetString(SNMP_AUTH_PHRASE),
                privProtocol.getID(),
                new OctetString(SNMP_PRIVACY_PHRASE),OctetString.fromHexString(LOCAL_ENGINE_ID));

You are using the local Engine ID of the notification receiver for the USM user that should receive a notification. That is wrong, because you must use the engine ID of the notification sender instead.

@AGENTPP thanks for your inputs. now i am seeing the below error this messages work fine when I start the java application but after 150 seconds the messages are dropped but with the snmptrap daemon this works fine it never complains is there something that the notification sender needs to take care off. or is there anything that has to be done on the java application(notification receiver)
