Good day everyone,
I am having some issues any task on a Windows machine
i ran the following:
ansible -m ping Windows -u ansible -kK -vvv
192.168.140.147 | UNREACHABLE! => {
"changed": false,
"msg": "Authentication or permission failure. In some cases, you may have been able to authenticate and did not have permissions on the target directory. Consider changing the remote tmp path in ansible.cfg to a path rooted in \"/tmp\".

}
Has anyone face this before? i am not too sure what am i supposed to change, i have no issues excuting playbooks/tasks on linux
I also have no issues establishing a ssh connection to the Windows client. I did try changing the path mentioned in the error, but the error was still the same..
Any idea how to fix this?

Sorry if this is something you've already done. Windows is very different from Linux and this applies to ansible too! Out of the box you need to do a bit of setting up of the windows host.
This is a useful link to getting everything ready:
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/windows_setup.html
You'll need to add extra settings into your inventory file too.
Like these:
[windows:vars]
ansible_user=Administrator
ansible_port=5986
ansible_connection=winrm
ansible_winrm_scheme=https
ansible_winrm_server_cert_validation=ignore
ansible_winrm_kerberos_delegation=true
And once you've done all that, pinging Windows hosts use win_ping like this:
ansible -i inventory win -m win_ping
I hope this helps. Sorry if you've already done all this!
I am very new to Ansible and am trying to run my first playbook against a nexus 5600. I am using the cisco-programmable-fabric playbook I have connectivity to the N5K, and can ping it from the Centos7 VM. I can also access the NXAPI sandbox via the browser.
When I run the playbook I the errors shown in the picture. One host gets gets a connection timed out error. The host "mt-l1" has an error with a redirect.
Ansible version is 2.5.1 and python version is 2.7.5.

"Connection failure: timed out", "status": -1, "url" :"http://192.168.77.15:80/ins"
It appears from your error message that the connection to the devices using the nxos_config module is attempting to use a proxy server. I'm guessing that since you are manipulating /etc/hosts on your local machine that these devices are not registered in DNS, and therefore the proxy would not be able to reach them.
As a quick test, I would run the following commands and re-run your playbook.
unset HTTP_PROXY
unset HTTPS_PROXY
unset http_proxy
unset https_proxy
Assuming that works, you could have a peek here for a more elegant fix

I'm trying to kill processes using SNMP.
I know that is possible setting to 4 the "status" field of a process like:
snmpset -v 2c -c community_string ipaddress 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.4.2.1.7.PID i 4
I always receive the same message:
Error in packet.
Reason: not Writable (That Object does not support modification)
Failed object: iso.3.6.1.2.1.25.4.2.1.7.PID
I don't know why, but this also happens when I use the "localhost" that normally has all the privileges. Maybe there is something wrong in my settings? This is my snmpd.conf file:
# AGENT BEHAVIOUR

This message above is probably just what it says. The variable is a read-only and cant be edited. If the variable is writable or not is specified in the MIB. You better check the MIB first. If a variable is read-only it doesnt matter what you do.
Killing processes with SNMP, as far as i know, is not that usual. At least you usually do not do it in that way. SNMP is for managing the network. But again if you have a proprietary MIB you must check it and see what it says there.
I'm trying to convert snmp v1 traps to v3. I've followed this discussion but it's vague.
I've also looked here but without success.
To be more clear: I have a Centos 6 station, with net-snmp 5.5 on it. I need to generate v1 traps, receive them, convert them to v3, then forward them.
Regarding the first guide, this is what I managed so far:
Master:
snmpd -Lo --master=agentx --agentXSocket=tcp:192.168.58.64:42000 udp:1161
Listen:
snmpwalk -v3 -u snmpv3user -A snmpv3pass -a MD5 -l authnoPriv 192.168.58.64:1161
Later edit:
I have made some progress, I was able to run snmpd as master, connect snmptrapd as agent to it, then have v1 traps mechanism functional.
I did the following:
In order to get snmptrapd connected as a subagent to snmpd you need to do the following:
###1 EDIT /etc/hosts.allow and add
snmpd: $(your_ip)
smptrapd: $(your_ip)
this is important because snmptrapd fails silently if rejected
by tcp wrap.
###2 EDIT /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf and add at the bottom of the other
com2sec directives.
com2sec infwnet $(your_ip) YOUR-COMMUNITY
add these lines
group MyROGroup v1 infwnet
group MyROGroup v2c infwnet
group MyROGroup usm infwnet
under
"# Second, map the security names into group names:"
add this view at the bottom of the other views
view all included .1 80
add this group acces at the bottom of other group access directives
access MyROGroup "" any noauth exact all none none
add this line as well:
master agentx
###3 TEST it with this:
snmpwalk -v1 -c YOUR_COMMUNITY $(your_ip) .
###4 CREATE THE FOLLOWING TRAP TEST EXAMPLE:
touch /usr/share/snmp/mibs/UCD-TRAP-TEST-MIB.txt
###5 COPY PASTE THE TEXT BELOW INTO IT:
UCD-TRAP-TEST-MIB DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN
IMPORTS ucdExperimental FROM UCD-SNMP-MIB;
demotraps OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { ucdExperimental 990 }
demoTrap TRAP-TYPE
ENTERPRISE demotraps
VARIABLES { sysLocation }
DESCRIPTION "An example of an SMIv1 trap"
::= 17
END
###6 EDIT /etc/sysconfig/snmptrapd (not /etc/default/snmptrapd !!)
replace OPTIONS with this:
OPTIONS="-Lsd -m ALL -M /usr/share/snmp/mibs -p /var/run/snmptrapd.pid"
###7 TEST IT WITH
snmptrap -v 1 -c public $(your_ip) UCD-TRAP-TEST-MIB::demotraps "" 6 17 "" SNMPv2-MIB::sysLocation.0 s "Just here"
Now I just need to find a way to convert them to v3 and read/receive them from a remote snmpd
I have a MIB object with read-write permission. MIB section looks like this:
EnableHalt OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Integer32
MAX-ACCESS read-write
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION "implemented in NetSnmpcodsMr.c file."
DEFVAL { 0 }
::= { Scalars 4 }
When I do a set on this object I get:
$ sudo snmpset -v 2c -c public localhost 1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.2.2.4.0 i 1
Error in packet.
Reason: noAccess
Failed object: NET-SNMP-MIB::netSnmp.2.2.4.0
When I do a get:
$ snmpget -v 2c -c public localhost 1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.2.2.4.0
NET-SNMP-MIB::netSnmp.2.2.4.0 = INTEGER: 1
All is fine!
In snmpd.conf I added the line:
rwcommunity public localhost
Still noAccess issue. I'm using net snmp 5.4.2.1 on Ubuntu
What am I doing wrong? Please advice Thanks Gil
It's nine months since you asked this but in case it's helpful...
Is your community string correct? You specified it as "public", which is the default read-only community string. Perhaps it should be "private" instead, which is the default read-write community string.
try:
snmpget -v 2c -c public localhost 1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.2.2.4.0 NET-SNMP-MIB::netSnmp.2.2.4.0
Gil,
If that object is read-only, then you probably will receive notWritable instead of noAccess.
http://www.tcpipguide.com/free/t_SNMPVersion2SNMPv2MessageFormats-5.htm
So I think it is still a Net-SNMP configuration issue and you can post to Net-SNMP mail list or check out the archive,
http://www.net-snmp.org/support/contacts.html
modify the snmpd.conf file, add below line into the end of file.Provide write permission.
rwcommunity public
noAccess (as opposed to notWritable) could be caused by your VACM view configuration in snmpd.conf. Look to the com2sec, group, view, and access directives. Respectively, these map a community string and source address/subnet to a security name; add a security name as a member of a VACM group; define an OID subtree as a named view; and finally indicate the access level for a given set of those other parameters along with security model and security level. If gets return noError but sets return noAccess, chances are good that one of these directives has configured your community string or your IP address for read-only access for what would otherwise be a read-write variable.
I have edited the access control section in snmpd.conf and it working perfectly fine for me,
########################################################################

# Access Control
#######################################################################
# YOU SHOULD CHANGE THE "COMMUNITY" TOKEN BELOW TO A NEW KEYWORD ONLY
# KNOWN AT YOUR SITE. YOU *MUST* CHANGE THE NETWORK TOKEN BELOW TO
# SOMETHING REFLECTING YOUR LOCAL NETWORK ADDRESS SPACE.
# By far, the most common question I get about the agent is "why won't
# it work?", when really it should be "how do I configure the agent to
# allow me to access it?"
#
# By default, the agent responds to the "public" community for read
# only access, if run out of the box without any configuration file in
# place. The following examples show you other ways of configuring
# the agent so that you can change the community names, and give
# yourself write access as well.
#
# The following lines change the access permissions of the agent so
# that the COMMUNITY string provides read-only access to your entire
# NETWORK (EG: 10.10.10.0/24), and read/write access to only the
# localhost (127.0.0.1, not its real ipaddress).
#
# For more information, read the FAQ as well as the snmpd.conf(5)
# manual page.
####
# First, map the community name (COMMUNITY) into a security name
# (local and mynetwork, depending on where the request is coming
# from):
# sec.name source community
#com2sec paranoid default public
#com2sec readonly default public
com2sec readwrite default private
####
# Second, map the security names into group names:
# sec.model sec.name
#group MyROSystem v1 paranoid
#group MyROSystem v2c paranoid
#group MyROSystem usm paranoid
#group MyROGroup v1 readonly
#group MyROGroup v2c readonly
#group MyROGroup usm readonly
group MyRWGroup v1 readwrite
group MyRWGroup v2c readwrite
group MyRWGroup usm readwrite
####
# Third, create a view for us to let the groups have rights to:
# incl/excl subtree mask
view all included .1 80
view system included .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system
####
# Finally, grant the 2 groups access to the 1 view with different
# write permissions:
# context sec.model sec.level match read write notif
#access MyROSystem "" any noauth exact system none none
#access MyROGroup "" any noauth exact all none none
