===========
SNMP driver
===========

The SNMP hardware type enables control of power distribution units of the type
frequently found in data centre racks. PDUs frequently have a management
ethernet interface and SNMP support enabling control of the power outlets.

The SNMP power interface works with the :ref:`pxe-boot` interface for network
deployment and network-configured boot.

.. note::
    Unlike most of the other power interfaces, the SNMP power interface does
    not have a corresponding management interface. The SNMP hardware type uses
    the ``noop`` management interface instead.

List of supported devices
=========================

This is a non-exhaustive list of supported devices. Any device not listed in
this table could possibly work using a similar driver.

Please report any device status.

Software Requirements
=====================

- The PySNMP package must be installed, variously referred to as ``pysnmp``
  or ``python-pysnmp``

Enabling the SNMP Hardware Type
===============================

#. Add ``snmp`` to the list of ``enabled_hardware_types`` in ``ironic.conf``.
   Also update ``enabled_management_interfaces`` and
   ``enabled_power_interfaces`` in ``ironic.conf`` as shown below:

   .. code-block:: ini

    [DEFAULT]
    enabled_hardware_types = snmp
    enabled_management_interfaces = noop
    enabled_power_interfaces = snmp

#. To set the default boot option, update ``default_boot_option`` in
   ``ironic.conf``:

   .. code-block:: ini

    [DEFAULT]
    default_boot_option = netboot

   .. note::
      Currently the default value of ``default_boot_option`` is ``netboot``
      but it will be changed to ``local`` in the future. It is recommended
      to set an explicit value for this option.

   .. note::
      It is important to set ``boot_option`` to ``netboot`` as SNMP hardware
      type does not support setting of boot devices. One can also configure
      a node to boot using ``netboot`` by setting its ``capabilities`` and
      updating Nova flavor as described below:

      .. code-block:: console

          baremetal node set --property capabilities="boot_option:netboot" <node>
          openstack flavor set --property "capabilities:boot_option"="netboot" ironic-flavor


#. Restart the Ironic conductor service.

   .. code-block:: bash

    service ironic-conductor restart

Ironic Node Configuration
=========================

Nodes configured to use the SNMP hardware type should have the ``driver`` field
set to the hardware type ``snmp``.

The following property values have to be added to the node's
``driver_info`` field:

- ``snmp_driver``: PDU manufacturer driver name or ``auto`` to automatically
  choose ironic snmp driver based on ``SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID`` value as
  reported by PDU.
- ``snmp_address``: the IPv4 address of the PDU controlling this node.
- ``snmp_port``: (optional) A non-standard UDP port to use for SNMP operations.
  If not specified, the default port (161) is used.
- ``snmp_outlet``: The power outlet on the PDU (1-based indexing).
- ``snmp_version``: (optional) SNMP protocol version
  (permitted values ``1``, ``2c`` or ``3``). If not specified, SNMPv1
  is chosen.
- ``snmp_community``: (Required for SNMPv1/SNMPv2c unless
  ``snmp_community_read`` and/or ``snmp_community_write`` properties are
  present in which case the latter take over) SNMP community
  name parameter for reads and writes to the PDU.
- ``snmp_community_read``: SNMP community name parameter for reads
  to the PDU. Takes precedence over the ``snmp_community`` property.
- ``snmp_community_write``: SNMP community name parameter for writes
  to the PDU. Takes precedence over the ``snmp_community`` property.
- ``snmp_user``: (Required for SNMPv3) SNMPv3 User-based Security Model
  (USM) user name. Synonym for now obsolete ``snmp_security`` parameter.
- ``snmp_auth_protocol``: SNMPv3 message authentication protocol ID.
  Valid values include: ``none``, ``md5``, ``sha`` for all pysnmp versions
  and additionally ``sha224``, ``sha256``, ``sha384``, ``sha512`` for
  pysnmp versions 4.4.1 and later. Default is ``none`` unless ``snmp_auth_key``
  is provided. In the latter case ``md5`` is the default.
- ``snmp_auth_key``: SNMPv3 message authentication key. Must be 8+
  characters long. Required when message authentication is used.
- ``snmp_priv_protocol``: SNMPv3 message privacy (encryption) protocol ID.
  Valid values include: ``none``, ``des``, ``3des``, ``aes``, ``aes192``,
  ``aes256`` for all pysnmp version and additionally ``aes192blmt``,
  ``aes256blmt`` for pysnmp versions 4.4.3+. Note that message privacy
  requires using message authentication. Default is ``none`` unless
  ``snmp_priv_key`` is provided. In the latter case ``des`` is the default.
- ``snmp_priv_key``:  SNMPv3 message privacy (encryption) key. Must be 8+
  characters long. Required when message encryption is used.
- ``snmp_context_engine_id``: SNMPv3 context engine ID. Default is
  the value of authoritative engine ID.
- ``snmp_context_name``: SNMPv3 context name. Default is an empty string.

The following command can be used to enroll a node with the ``snmp`` hardware
type:

.. code-block:: bash

    baremetal node create \
    --driver snmp --driver-info snmp_driver=<pdu_manufacturer> \
    --driver-info snmp_address=<ip_address> \
    --driver-info snmp_outlet=<outlet_index> \
    --driver-info snmp_community=<community_string> \
    --properties capabilities=boot_option:netboot
