Authentication error (SNMP error #16) on PRTG monitor for VSX gateway

[Ankur_Datta]

Hi All,

we are configuring SNMP on checkpoint VSX gateway for partcular VS. we are using v3 and vs mode. when doing configuration on both sides we are getting error - Authentication error (SNMP error #16) on PRTG monitor. 

Anyone faced this error. Configuration parameters are correct on firewall and on PRTG monitor as well.

When i run snmpwalk for vs for CPU usage it shows me current cpu usage for that VS.

PFB configuration on VSX gateway:

set snmp agent on

set snmp agent-version v3-Only
add snmp interface Mgmt

add snmp traps receiver x.x.x.x version v3

add snmp usm user abcd security-level authPriv auth-pass-phrase-hashed 5553tfge76r6yhfh5666 privacy-pass-phrase-hashed 6546ryhyt5e654ter4555yy5 privacy-protocol DES authentication-protocol MD5

set snmp usm user abcd vsid 7

Thanks

I don't know which version you are running and I don't see the 'set snmp mode vs' command listed.

Hi Maarten_Sjouw

set snmp mode vs is configured. i somehow missed here and we are using v3.

Thanks

privacy-protocol DES ?

are you certain that this is a good idea (good param) for PRTG as well as for the VSX vsenv0 ?

Hi Jerry,

we are using DES for privacy-protocol for all checkpoint appliances. Can you suggest why this is not a good idea?

Thanks
