Description: Whether SNMP engine would try to figure out the EngineIDs of its peers by sending discover requests.
What is pysnmpUsmDiscovery?
This object controls whether the local pysnmp-based SNMP engine actively sends discovery requests to figure out the engine IDs of its SNMPv3 peers, as opposed to only passively responding when queried. An administrator enables this so the agent can automatically learn the engine IDs it needs to communicate securely with other SNMPv3 entities, rather than requiring those IDs to be configured manually. For example, setting this object to doDiscover(1) has the engine proactively probe a newly added peer to learn its engine ID before exchanging authenticated SNMPv3 messages with it.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.20408.3.1.1.1.1.2 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> PYSNMP-USM-MIB::pysnmpUsmDiscovery
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.20408.3.1.1.1.1.2.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> PYSNMP-USM-MIB::pysnmpUsmDiscovery.1
Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):
snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.20408.3.1.1.1.1.2.1 i <value>
