Syntax

C#
public static SnmpV3Packet DiscoveryResponse(
	int messageId,
	int requestId,
	OctetString engineId,
	int engineBoots,
	int engineTime,
	int unknownEngineIdCount
)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Shared Function DiscoveryResponse ( _
	messageId As Integer, _
	requestId As Integer, _
	engineId As OctetString, _
	engineBoots As Integer, _
	engineTime As Integer, _
	unknownEngineIdCount As Integer _
) As SnmpV3Packet
Visual C++
public:
static SnmpV3Packet^ DiscoveryResponse(
	int messageId, 
	int requestId, 
	OctetString^ engineId, 
	int engineBoots, 
	int engineTime, 
	int unknownEngineIdCount
)

Parameters

messageId
Type: System..::.Int32
Message id from the received discovery packet
requestId
Type: System..::.Int32
Request id from the received discovery packets Pdu
engineId
Type: SnmpSharpNet..::.OctetString
Local engine id
engineBoots
Type: System..::.Int32
Number of times local SNMP engine has been restarted
engineTime
Type: System..::.Int32
Time since the engine was started in seconds
unknownEngineIdCount
Type: System..::.Int32
Number of discovery packets received by the local SNMP engine

Return Value

SNMP v3 packet properly formatted as a response to a discovery request

Remarks

Manager application has to be able to respond to discovery requests to be able to handle SNMPv3 INFORM notifications. In an INFORM packet, engineId value is set to the manager stations id (unlike all other requests where agent is the authoritative SNMP engine). For the agent to discover appropriate manager engine id, boots and time values (required for authentication and privacy packet handling), manager has to be able to respond to the discovery request.
