Any ideas?  The traffic is indeed coming in on an interface attached to the RDI routing-instance, which is what we expect.

When sending SNMP, using routing-instance, configure the client to use <routing-instance>@community.  So, in your example, have it send RDI@testcommunity.

I have something along the same lines. However, I did the xxx@routing-instance to do the snmp. Now I have an error in my /var/log/messages that states snmpd_auth_failure: nsa_log_community: unauthorized snmp community from x.x.x.x to unknown community name (xxx@routing-instance).

The funny part of it is that its polling the interfaces and everything just fine. However I still get this error in my messages log.

Any Takers?

Thanks,

Flan

This matches the symptoms, documented in PR451869.  As you indicated, it is a cosmetic issue.  The problem is fixed in JUNOS 10.0 and later.

We are running Junos 12.3R2 on an MX960 and we are also getting this error message:

Aug  1 13:22:11.888 2014  OURBOXNAME snmpd[1730]: SNMPD_AUTH_FAILURE: nsa_log_community: unauthorized SNMP community from x.x.x.x to y.y.y.y (p
ublic)

Any other ideas as to what causes this message?

Thank you

is y.y.y.y an address in default routing-instance and you have snmp community public to serve x.x.x.x ?

/Charlie

Can you share the correct config?
