Enable traps for snmp on VRRP
Closed, ResolvedPublicFEATURE REQUEST

Description

Summary

Support SNMP trap for VRRP events.

This is an example configuration

set high-availability vrrp snmp
set service snmp trap-source '10.0.0.1'
set service snmp trap-target 10.0.0.2 community 'public'

Enabling snmp for vrrp it works only for snmp polling, but for traps, it is not working. We have been able to include the trap feature on vrrp by enabling it at template level: /usr/share/vyos/templates/high-availability/keepalived.conf.j2, like this:

# Global definitions configuration block
global_defs {
    enable_traps  --> added
    dynamic_interfaces
    script_user root

Then restart the keepalived process: sudo systemctl restart keepalived, as we can see after performing a failover on both devices, we now see SNMP traps sent:

19:50:04.753356 eth1  Out IP 10.0.0.1.53724 > 10.0.0.2.162:  V2Trap(146)  .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0=150656 .1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.4.1.0=.1.3.6.1.4.1.9586.100.5.2.10.0.2 .1.3.6.1.4.1.9586.100.5.2.3.1.2="test" .1.3.6.1.4.1.9586.100.5.2.3.1.4=1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.9586.100.5.2.3.1.5=1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.9586.100.5.1.2.0="vyos"

Use case

With SNMP traps supported for VRRP, this will allow to follow the VRRP events and keep the HA status monitored.
