Example SNMPv3 Get Operation | SnmpSharpNet

Below is the example of host to make a Get request from an agent that requires both authentication and privacy.

using System;
using System.Net;
using SnmpSharpNet;
 
namespace SharpGetV3
{
  class MainClass
  {
    public static void Main (string[] args)
    {
      IpAddress ipa = new IpAddress ("192.168.1.1");
      UdpTarget target = new UdpTarget((IPAddress)ipa);
      SecureAgentParameters param = new SecureAgentParameters();
      if (!target.Discovery(param))
      {
        Console.WriteLine("Discovery failed. Unable to continue...");
        target.Close();
        return;
      }
      // Construct a Protocol Data Unit (PDU)
      Pdu pdu = new Pdu();
      // Set the request type (default is Get)
      pdu.Type = PduType.Get;
      // Add variables you wish to query
      pdu.VbList.Add("1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0");
      Oid oidVal1 = new Oid (new int[] { 1, 3, 6, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 0 });
      pdu.VbList.Add(oidVal1);
      Oid oidVal2 = new Oid ("1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0");
      pdu.VbList.Add(oidVal2);
      // optional: make sure no authentication or privacy is configured in the 
      // SecureAgentParameters class (see discovery section above)
      param.authPriv (
            "priv1",
             AuthenticationDigests.MD5, "test1234", 
             PrivacyProtocols.AES128, "1234test");
      // Make a request. Request can throw a number of errors so wrap it in try/catch
      SnmpV3Packet result;
      try {
        result = (SnmpV3Packet)target.Request(pdu, param);
      } catch( Exception ex ) {
        Console.WriteLine ("Error: {0}", ex.Message);
        result = null;
      }
      if( result != null ) {
        if (result.ScopedPdu.Type == PduType.Report) {
          Console.WriteLine ("SNMPv3 report:");
          foreach (Vb v in result.ScopedPdu.VbList) {
            Console.WriteLine ("{0} -> ({1}) {2}", 
              v.Oid.ToString (), 
              SnmpConstants.GetTypeName (v.Value.Type), v.Value.ToString ());
          }
        } else {
          if (result.ScopedPdu.ErrorStatus == 0) {
            foreach (Vb v in result.ScopedPdu.VbList) {
              Console.WriteLine ("{0} -> ({1}) {2}", 
                v.Oid.ToString (),
                SnmpConstants.GetTypeName (v.Value.Type), v.Value.ToString ());
            }
          } else {
            Console.WriteLine ("SNMPError: {0} ({1}): {2}", 
              SnmpError.ErrorMessage (result.ScopedPdu.ErrorStatus),
              result.ScopedPdu.ErrorStatus, result.ScopedPdu.ErrorIndex);
          }
        }
      }
      target.Close();
    }
  }
}
