                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I wanted to post out my notes on getting SNMP and sFlow enabled on my Unifi USW Enterprise switch. First of all, you make sure that SNMPv3 is enabled.</p>
754
<p>However, I had issues just enabling this and assuming it worked on my switch. I could never get my SNMPv3 monitor to connect. So, I dove into the CLI. If you want to know how to get to the CLI in Unifi USW switches, see my other forum post here: <a href="https://www.virtualizationhowto.com/community/how-tos-shared/how-to-access-the-cli-unifi-switch-usw-enterprise-48/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CLI enable on Unifi USW</a>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt">Configure the switch side SNMP</span></p>
<p>View your current configuration:</p>
<pre contenteditable="false">show snmp
show snmp engineID
show snmp group
show snmp user</pre>
<p>Now, here are the commands that worked for me:</p>
<pre contenteditable="false">configure
snmp-server v3-host 10.1.149.51 yoursnmpuser traps priv
exit
write memory</pre>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt">Configure the switch side sFlow</span></p>
<pre contenteditable="false">configure
sflow receiver 1 owner mysnmpname 10.1.149.51 6343 2000000 2</pre>
<p>This sets up an sflow receiver with in slot 1, owner is a friendly name you can set, IP is the SNMP monitoring server, port 6343, max datagram size is 2000000, timeout is 2.</p>
<p><strong>Set the ports that will be enabled for sflow</strong></p>
<pre contenteditable="false">sflow source-interface network

interface 0/1-0/52
sflow sampler 1
sflow sampler rate 4096
sflow poller 1
sflow poller interval 20
exit

##Save configuration##

exit
write memory

## Verify

show sflow receivers
show sflow samplers
show sflow pollers
show sflow agent</pre>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt">Important notes on the SNMP version</span></p>
<p>In the "new" UI in the Unifi network application, they don't show you what the encryption and authentication methods are. However, I can confirm those are the following:</p>
<pre contenteditable="false">- SNMP Version: v3
- Authentication Method: SHA (not MD5!)
- Encryption Type: AES (not DES)
</pre>
<p>Hopefully, these notes will help anyone else who is struggling to get SNMPv3 up and working on a Unifi USW enterprise network switch.</p>]]></content:encoded>
