NeophyteNeophyteCan anyone share how they have solved the problem of maintaining SNMP v3 auth/Priv connectivity between LM collectors and a virtual chassis after there is a change in the RE mastership?
Juniper offers 3 methods to set the local engine id:
1)enter no config, and automatically the default ip address of the RE at the time of configuration is used --> communication will fail as soon as this RE is no longer the master RE
2)set a value for the local engine id: this produces some interoperability issue between LM and the virtual chassis --> no snmp-discoverable datasources ever get discovered even though the switch logs no indication of SNMP credential failure
3)use the MAC of the management ethernet port: well, this one will change too as soon as there is a change in RE mastership.
I have an open case with Juniper support but I am sort of getting the run-around from them and there brand -new documentation support site is the equivalent of a Byzantine Labyrinth.
Any ideas, feedback or comments are appreciated.
Thanks.
