# SNMPAgent Class

The SNMPAgent class is used to implement UDP-based SNMP Agent Applications.

## Syntax

```text
class ipworkssnmp.SNMPAgent
```

## Remarks

The SNMPAgent class implements a UDP-based standard SNMP Agent as specified in the SNMP RFCs. The class supports SNMP v1, v2c, and v3.

SNMP over DTLS is also supported when [ssl_enabled](#ssl_enabled-property) is set to True. When acting as a client, the [on_ssl_server_authentication](#on_ssl_server_authentication-event) event allows you to check the server identity and other security attributes. The [on_ssl_status](#on_ssl_status-event) event provides information about the DTLS handshake. Additional SSL-related settings are also supported through the [config](#config-method) method. When acting as a server, the **SSLCert** properties are used to select a certificate for the server. When client authentication is required, the [ssl_authenticate_clients](#ssl_authenticate_clients-property) property can be set to True and the [on_ssl_client_authentication](#on_ssl_client_authentication-event) event can be used to examine client credentials.

The class provides both encoding/decoding and transport capabilities, making the task of developing a custom SNMP agent as simple as setting a few key properties and handling a few events. SNMP data such as SNMP object id-s (OID-s) are exchanged as text strings, thus further simplifying the task of handling them.

The class is activated/deactivated by calling the [activate](#activate-method) or [deactivate](#deactivate-method) method. These methods enable or disable sending and receiving. The activation status can be found in the [active](#active-property) property.

The class operates asynchronously. Requests are received through events such as [on_get_request](#on_get_request-event), [on_get_bulk_request](#on_get_bulk_request-event), [on_get_next_request](#on_get_next_request-event), etc. and the corresponding responses are automatically sent when the events return. Traps are sent through the [send_trap](#send_trap-method) method.

SNMPv3 USM security passwords are requested through the [on_get_user_password](#on_get_user_password-event) event, and event parameters such as *User* and *SecurityLevel* provide information about the security attributes of received requests, and enable granular decision capability about what to provide and what not to provide. The [send_secure_trap](#send_secure_trap-method) method is used to send authenticated (secure) SNMPv3 traps.

The [add_user](#add_user-method), [remove_user](#remove_user-method), [show_cache](#show_cache-method), and [clear_cache](#clear_cache-method) methods are used to manage an internal authentication cache. This internal cache can be used as an alternative to the [on_get_user_password](#on_get_user_password-event) event, automatically checking the cache against the security parameters provided in the request signature.

SNMP OIDs, types, and values are provided in the objects collection of SNMP objects for both sent and received packets.

Other packet information is provided through corresponding event parameters, such as Community, or RequestId.

# accept_data property

Enables or disables data reception.

## Syntax

```text
def get_accept_data() -> bool: ...
accept_data = property(get_accept_data, None)
```

## Default Value

TRUE

## Remarks

Setting the property to False temporarily disables data reception. Setting the property to True re-enables data reception.

This property is read-only.

# active property

Indicates whether the class is active.

## Syntax

```text
def get_active() -> bool: ...
active = property(get_active, None)
```

## Default Value

FALSE

## Remarks

This property indicates whether the class is currently active and can send or receive data.

The class will be automatically activated if it is not already and you attempt to perform an operation which requires the class to be active.

Use the [activate](#activate-method) and [deactivate](#deactivate-method) methods to control whether the class is active.

This property is read-only.

# local_engine_id property

The Engine Id of the SNMP Agent.

## Syntax

```text
def get_local_engine_id() -> bytes: ...
def set_local_engine_id(value: bytes) -> None: ...
local_engine_id = property(get_local_engine_id, set_local_engine_id)
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

This property is only used for SNMPv3 packets (when [snmp_version](#snmp_version-property) is 3).

# local_host property

The name of the local host or user-assigned IP interface through which connections are initiated or accepted.

## Syntax

```text
def get_local_host() -> str: ...
def set_local_host(value: str) -> None: ...
local_host = property(get_local_host, set_local_host)
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

This property contains the name of the local host as obtained by the *gethostname()* system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address.

In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the IP address of an interface will make the class initiate connections (or accept in the case of server classes) only through that interface. It is recommended to provide an IP address rather than a hostname when setting this property to ensure the desired interface is used.

If the class is connected, the local_host property shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).

NOTE: local_host is not persistent. You must always set it in code, and never in the property window.

# local_port property

The port in the local host where the class listens.

## Syntax

```text
def get_local_port() -> int: ...
def set_local_port(value: int) -> None: ...
local_port = property(get_local_port, set_local_port)
```

## Default Value

161

## Remarks

The local_port property must be set before the class is activated ([active](#active-property) is set to True). It instructs the class to bind to a specific port (or communication endpoint) in the local machine (default 161).

You may also set local_port to 0. This allows the TCP/IP stack to choose a port at random. The value chosen is provided via the local_port property after the class is activated through the [active](#active-property) property.

local_port cannot be changed once the class is [active](#active-property). Any attempt to set the local_port property when the class is [active](#active-property) will generate an error.

NOTE: on macOS and iOS, root permissions are required to set local_port to any value below 1024.

# obj_count property

The number of records in the Obj arrays.

## Syntax

```text
def get_obj_count() -> int: ...
def set_obj_count(value: int) -> None: ...
obj_count = property(get_obj_count, set_obj_count)
```

## Default Value

0

## Remarks

This property controls the size of the following arrays:

- [obj_id](#obj_id-property)
- [obj_type](#obj_type-property)
- [obj_type_string](#obj_type_string-property)
- [obj_value](#obj_value-property)

The array indices start at *0* and end at *obj_count - 1*.

# obj_id property

The current object's id which is encoded as a string of numbers separated by periods.

## Syntax

```text
def get_obj_id(obj_index: int) -> str: ...
def set_obj_id(obj_index: int, value: str) -> None: ...
```

## Default Value

""

## Remarks

The current object's id which is encoded as a string of numbers separated by periods. For instance: "1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0" (OID for "system description").

The corresponding object type and value (if any) are specified by the [object_type](#SNMPAgent_p_ObjObjectType) and [obj_value](#obj_value-property) properties.

**Example**

```text
SNMPControl.ObjCount = 1
SNMPControl.ObjId(0) = "1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0"
```

The *obj_index* parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the [obj_count](#obj_count-property) property.

# obj_type property

The current object's type.

## Syntax

```text
def get_obj_type(obj_index: int) -> int: ...
def set_obj_type(obj_index: int, value: int) -> None: ...
```

# config method

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

## Syntax

```text
def config(configuration_string: str) -> str: ...
```

## Remarks

config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve [configuration settings](#snmpagent-config-settings) for the class.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these *internal properties* is provided through the config method.

To set a configuration setting named *PROPERTY*, you must call *Config("PROPERTY=VALUE")*, where *VALUE* is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a [configuration setting](#snmpagent-config-settings), you must call *Config("PROPERTY")*. The value will be returned as a string.

# deactivate method

## Remarks

When do_events is called, the class processes any available events. If no events are available, it waits for a preset period of time, and then returns.

# hash_passwords method

Hashes all passwords in the cache.

## Syntax

```text
def hash_passwords() -> None: ...
```

## Remarks

Forces computation of all passwords hashes in the cache. Used together with the [on_hash_password](#on_hash_password-event) event to enable implementations of external password hash storage.

# pause_data method

This method pauses data reception.

## Syntax

```text
def pause_data() -> None: ...
```

## Remarks

This method pauses data reception when called. While data reception is paused, the on_data_in event will not fire. Call [process_data](#process_data-method) to reenable data reception.

# process_data method

This method reenables data reception after a call to PauseData .

## Syntax

```text
def process_data() -> None: ...
```

## Remarks

This method reenables data reception after a previous call to [pause_data](#pause_data-method). When [pause_data](#pause_data-method) is called, the on_data_in event will not fire. To reenable data reception and allow on_data_in to fire, call this method.

NOTE: This method is used only after previously calling [pause_data](#pause_data-method). It does not need to be called to process incoming data by default.

# remove_user method

Removes the user specified by User from the internal authentication cache.

## Syntax

```text
def remove_user(user: str) -> None: ...
```

## Remarks

The internal authentication cache can be used as an alternative to the [on_get_user_password](#on_get_user_password-event) event, automatically checking the cache against the security parameters provided in the request signature.

The [show_cache](#show_cache-method) method is used to show the contents of the internal authentication cache.

The [clear_cache](#clear_cache-method) method can be used to completely clear the cache.

# reset method

Clears the object arrays.

## Syntax

```text
def reset() -> None: ...
```

## Remarks

Clears the object arrays, and sets the trap and error properties to their default values. This is useful for reinitializing all the properties that are used to create outgoing packets before building a new packet.

Note: [snmp_version](#snmp_version-property) will be reset to **snmpverV2c (2)**.

# send_response method

Sends a response packet to a Get, Get-Next, Get-Bulk, or Set request.

## Syntax

```text
def send_response(remote_host: str, remote_port: int, request_id: int, community: str, error_status: int, error_index: int) -> None: ...
```

## Remarks

Use this method to send asynchronous response packets. A valid *RequestId* must be specified. send_response sends an unauthenticated response packet. Depending upon the value of the [snmp_version](#snmp_version-property) property, the packet is constructed as an SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, or SNMPv3 (unauthenticated) response PDU. To send authenticated or encrypted SNMPv3 responses, use [send_secure_response](#send_secure_response-method)

The *RemoteHost* and *RemotePort* parameters are used to determine where the response is to be sent. The object identifiers, types, and values for the request are taken from the objects collection. The *RequestId*, *Community*, *ErrorStatus*, and *ErrorIndex* parameters are used to specify other properties of the response.

# send_secure_response method

Sends an authenticated and/or encrypted SNMPv3 response.

## Syntax

```text
def send_secure_response(remote_host: str, remote_port: int, request_id: int, message_id: int, error_status: int, error_index: int, user: str, authentication_protocol: int, authentication_password: str, encryption_algorithm: int, encryption_password: str) -> None: ...
```

## Remarks

Similar to the [send_response](#send_response-method) method except that *User*, *Authentication Protocol*, and *AuthenticationPassword* are used to authenticate the response. *EncryptionAlgorithm* and *EncryptionPassword* (if not empty) are used to encrypt the response.

The MessageId argument must match the *MessageId* parameter obtained from the [on_get_request](#on_get_request-event), [on_get_next_request](#on_get_next_request-event), [on_set_request](#on_set_request-event), or [on_get_bulk_request](#on_get_bulk_request-event) event.

The user and password arguments used to send the response will be added to the internal user cache. If the user is already in the cache, its passwords will be updated with those supplied.

Valid Authentication Protocols are:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| HMAC-MD5-96 (1) | Message-Digest algorithm 5. |
| HMAC-SHA-96 (2) | Secure Hash Algorithm. |
| HMAC-192-SHA-256 (3) | Secure Hash Algorithm. |
| HMAC-384-SHA-512 (4) | Secure Hash Algorithm. |
| HMAC-128-SHA-224 (5) | Secure Hash Algorithm. |
| HMAC-256-SHA-384 (6) | Secure Hash Algorithm. |

Valid Encryption Algorithms are:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| DES (1) | Data Encryption Standard. |
| AES (2) | Advanced Encryption Standard with key length of 128. |
| 3DES (3) | Triple Data Encryption Standard. |
| AES192 (4) | Advanced Encryption Standard with key length of 192. |
| AES256 (5) | Advanced Encryption Standard with key length of 256. |

# send_secure_trap method

Sends an authenticated and/or encrypted SNMPv3 trap.

## Syntax

```text
def send_secure_trap(remote_host: str, trap_oid: str, user: str, authentication_protocol: int, authentication_password: str, encryption_algorithm: int, encryption_password: str) -> None: ...
```

## Remarks

Similar to the [send_trap](#send_trap-method) method except that *User*, *AuthenticationPassword*, and *Authentication Protocol* are used to authenticate the trap. *EncryptionPassword* (if not empty) and *EncryptionAlgorithm* are used to encrypt the message.

The user and password arguments used to send the trap will be added to the internal user cache. If the user is already in the cache, its passwords will be updated with those supplied.

Valid Authentication Protocols are:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| HMAC-MD5-96 (1) | Message-Digest algorithm 5. |
| HMAC-SHA-96 (2) | Secure Hash Algorithm. |
| HMAC-192-SHA-256 (3) | Secure Hash Algorithm. |
| HMAC-384-SHA-512 (4) | Secure Hash Algorithm. |

# send_trap method

Sends an SNMP Trap.

## Syntax

```text
def send_trap(remote_host: str, trap_oid: str) -> None: ...
```

## Remarks

Depending upon the value of the [snmp_version](#snmp_version-property) property, the packet is constructed as an SNMPv1 or SNMPv2 Trap PDU. The following configuration settings provide more control about how traps are generated: [TrapPort](#TrapPort), [TrapAgentAddress](#TrapAgentAddress), [TrapCommunity](#TrapCommunity), [TrapEnterprise](#TrapEnterprise). The [sys_up_time](#sys_up_time-property) property provides the trap timestamp.

send_trap sends an unauthenticated trap. The [send_secure_trap](#send_secure_trap-method) method is used to send authenticated SNMPv3 traps.

If any values are provided in the objects collection, they are sent unchanged. In the case of an SNMPv2 or SNMPv3 Trap, if objects has a count that is equal to 0, the following values are set: sysUpTime.0 equal to [sys_up_time](#sys_up_time-property) and snmpTrapOID.0 equal to *TrapOID*.

For SNMPv2 and SNMPv3 Traps, *TrapOID* must contain the full OID of the Trap. For SNMPv1, TrapOID must be a string of the form *"generic.specific"* where *generic* and *specific* are numeric values providing the Trap Generic Type and Specific Type.

For SNMPv1, *TrapOID* must be of the form "GenericTrap.SpecificTrap". These values are sent in the PDU header. [TrapAgentAddress](#TrapAgentAddress) and [TrapEnterprise](#TrapEnterprise) are taken from the corresponding configuration settings.

Additionally, the following symbolic values are recognized and translated as follows:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Trap Name | OID (SNMPv2 and above) | SNMPv1 GenericType |
| coldStart | 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.1 | 0 |
| warmStart | 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.2 | 1 |
| linkDown | 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.3 | 2 |
| linkUp | 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.4 | 3 |
| authenticationFailure | 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.5 | 4 |
| egpNeighborLoss | 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.6 | 5 |
| enterpriseSpecific | 1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.7 | 6 |

# show_cache method

Lists all entries in the internal user authentication cache.

## Syntax

```text
def show_cache() -> None: ...
```

## Remarks

A [on_cache_entry](#on_cache_entry-event) event is fired for every record in the internal user authentication cache.

The internal authentication cache can be used as an alternative to the [on_get_user_password](#on_get_user_password-event) event, automatically checking the cache against the security parameters provided in the request signature.

The show_cache method is used to show the contents of the internal authentication cache.

The [clear_cache](#clear_cache-method) method can be used to completely clear the cache.

# value method

Returns the value corresponding to an OID.

## Syntax

```text
def value(oid: str) -> str: ...
```

## Remarks

If the OID does not exist in the objects collection, a trappable error is generated.

Please refer to the SNMPObject type for more information.

# on_bad_packet event

Fired for erroneous and/or malformed messages.

## Syntax

```text
class SNMPAgentBadPacketEventParams(object):
  @property
  def packet() -> bytes: ...

  @property
  def source_address() -> str: ...

  @property
  def source_port() -> int: ...

@on_bad_packet.setter
def on_bad_packet(event_hook: Callable[[SNMPAgentBadPacketEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
```

## Remarks

The full message is provided in the *Packet* parameter.

The on_bad_packet event is also fired when authentication fails for received packets due to a bad password or other reasons.

If the *Report* parameter is set to True, an unauthenticated error report will be sent to the client, otherwise the packet will be silently ignored.

Please refer to the [on_get_user_password](#on_get_user_password-event) event for more information concerning SNMPv3 authentication.

# on_cache_entry event

Shows in the internal cache.

## Syntax

```text
class SNMPAgentCacheEntryEventParams(object):

def on_cache_entry() -> Callable[[SNMPAgentCacheEntryEventParams], None]: ...
@on_cache_entry.setter
def on_cache_entry(event_hook: Callable[[SNMPAgentCacheEntryEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
```

## Remarks

on_cache_entry events are triggered by a call to [show_cache](#show_cache-method). One event is fired for each user.

# on_connected event

Fired immediately after a connection completes (or fails).

## Syntax

```text
class SNMPAgentConnectedEventParams(object):
  @property
  def remote_address() -> str: ...

  @property
  def remote_port() -> int: ...

  @property
  def status_code() -> int: ...

  @property

# In class SNMPAgent:
@property
def on_connected() -> Callable[[SNMPAgentConnectedEventParams], None]: ...
@on_connected.setter
def on_connected(event_hook: Callable[[SNMPAgentConnectedEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
```

## Remarks

This event fires after a connection completes or fails.

*StatusCode* is the value returned by the system TCP/IP stack. This will be 0 if the connection was successful.

*Description* contains a human readable description of the status. This will be "OK" if the connection was successful.

*RemoteAddress* is the IP address of the remote host.

*RemotePort* is the port on the remote host.

# on_disconnected event

Fired when a connection is closed.

## Syntax

```text

@property
def on_disconnected() -> Callable[[SNMPAgentDisconnectedEventParams], None]: ...
@on_disconnected.setter
def on_disconnected(event_hook: Callable[[SNMPAgentDisconnectedEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
```

## Remarks

This event fires after a connection is broken.

*StatusCode* is the value returned by the system TCP/IP stack. This will be 0 if the connection was broken normally.

*Description* contains a human readable description of the status. This will be "OK" if the connection was broken normally.

*RemoteAddress* is the IP address of the remote host.

*RemotePort* is the port on the remote host.

# on_discovery_request event

Fired when an SNMPv3 discovery packet is received.

## Syntax

```text
class SNMPAgentDiscoveryRequestEventParams(object):
  @property
  def engine_id() -> bytes: ...

  @property
  def engine_boots() -> int: ...

  @property
  def engine_time() -> int: ...

  @property
  def user() -> str: ...

  @property
  def security_level() -> int: ...

  @property
  def source_address() -> str: ...

  @property

def on_discovery_request() -> Callable[[SNMPAgentDiscoveryRequestEventParams], None]: ...
@on_discovery_request.setter
def on_discovery_request(event_hook: Callable[[SNMPAgentDiscoveryRequestEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
```

## Remarks

*EngineId*, *EngineBoots*, *EngineTime*, and *User* are the values received from *SourceAddress*.

For SNMPv3, the *User* parameter shows the user that was supplied with the packet. This parameter *MUST* be used together with the *SecurityLevel* parameter which shows the level of security in the message.

The *SecurityLevel* parameter shows whether the request has been authenticated. If *SecurityLevel* is 0, the request has *NOT* been authenticated (i.e. the packet signature has not been verified). For an authenticated, non encrypted request, *SecurityLevel* is 1. For an authenticated and encrypted request, *SecurityLevel* is 2.

*Respond* is True by default, and will automatically send a response using the value in [local_engine_id](#local_engine_id-property). To suppress the response, set *Respond* to False.

The value returned to *SourceAddress* for *EngineBoots* is always 0, and *EngineTime* is the number of seconds since January 1st, 1970 (GMT).

# on_error event

Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.

## Syntax

```text
class SNMPAgentErrorEventParams(object):
  @property

# In class SNMPAgent:
@property
def on_error() -> Callable[[SNMPAgentErrorEventParams], None]: ...
@on_error.setter
def on_error(event_hook: Callable[[SNMPAgentErrorEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
```

## Remarks

The on_error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the class fails with an error.

The *error_code* parameter contains an error code, and the *description* parameter contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the [Error Codes](#snmpagent-errors) section.

# on_get_bulk_request event

Fired when a GetBulkRequest packet is received.

def on_get_bulk_request(event_hook: Callable[[SNMPAgentGetBulkRequestEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
```

## Remarks

This is only available for SNMP versions 2 and 3.

The list of variables in the SNMP packet, including optional values and types, is provided through the objects collection. Each object is of type SNMPObject. This type describes the [obj_id](#obj_id-property), [obj_type](#obj_type-property), and [obj_value](#obj_value-property) of each SNMP object. These variables must be copied to another location before the event has completed executing, or they may be overridden by other events.

 The *SourceAddress* and *SourcePort* parameters show the address and port of the sender as reported by the TCP/IP stack.

The *MessageId* parameter identifies the received request.

For SNMPv3, the *User* parameter shows the user that was supplied with the packet. This parameter *MUST* be used together with the *SecurityLevel* parameter which shows the level of security in the message.

The *SecurityLevel* parameter shows whether the request has been authenticated. If *SecurityLevel* is 0, the request has *NOT* been authenticated (i.e. the packet signature has not been verified). For an authenticated, non encrypted request, *SecurityLevel* is 1. For an authenticated and encrypted request, *SecurityLevel* is 2.

To send a response, the *Respond* parameter must be set to true. By default, this value is false, which means no response will be sent. The *ErrorStatus* parameter may also be set to a valid SNMP status code (the default value is 0, which represents no error).

The following is a list of valid SNMP status code values:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| 0 (noError) | No error. |
| 1 (tooBig) | The response cannot fit in a single SNMP message. |
| 2 (noSuchName) | Variable does not exist. |
| 3 (badValue) | Invalid value or syntax. |
| 4 (readOnly) | Variable is read-only. |
| 5 (genError) | Other error (SNMPv1). |
| 6 (noAccess) | Access denied. |
| 7 (wrongType) | Wrong object type. |
| 8 (wrongLength) | Wrong length. |
| 9 (wrongEncoding) | Wrong encoding. |
| 10 (wrongValue) | Wrong value. |
| 11 (noCreation) | No creation. |
| 12 (inconsistentValue) | Inconsistent value. |
| 13 (resourceUnavailable) | Resource unavailable. |
| 14 (commitFailed) | Commit failed. |
| 15 (undoFailed) | Undo failed. |
| 16 (authorizationError) | Authorization error. |
| 17 (notWritable) | Variable is not writable. |
| 18 (inconsistentName) | Inconsistent name. |

 The *ErrorIndex* parameter indicates the index of the first variable (object) that caused an error. The default value is 0.

Variable indexes start with 0. *ErrorIndex* has no meaning when *ErrorStatus* is 0 (no error).

A GetBulkRequest is very similar to a GetNextRequest, the difference is that Getbulk performs a continuous GetNext operation based on the *MaxRepetitions* value. The *NonRepeaters* value will determine the number of objects for which a simple GetNext operation should be performed. For the remaining variables, a continuous GetNext operation is performed based on the *MaxRepetitions* value.

So if you send a request containing X objects, the agent will perform N simple GetNext operations and M continuous GetNext operations X - N times. With X being the number of objects received, N being the number of *NonRepeaters*, and M being the number of *MaxRepetitions*. Thus the SNMPMgr is expecting to receive N + M x (X - N) objects, assuming that each object has M successors.

# on_get_next_request event

Fired when a GetNextRequest packet is received.

## Remarks

The list of variables in the SNMP packet, including optional values and types, is provided through the objects collection. Each object is of type SNMPObject. This type describes the [obj_id](#obj_id-property), [obj_type](#obj_type-property), and [obj_value](#obj_value-property) of each SNMP object. These variables must be copied to another location before the event has completed executing, or they may be overridden by other events.

 The *SourceAddress* and *SourcePort* parameters show the address and port of the sender as reported by the TCP/IP stack.

The *MessageId* parameter identifies the received request.

For SNMPv3, the *User* parameter shows the user that was supplied with the packet. This parameter *MUST* be used together with the *SecurityLevel* parameter which shows the level of security in the message.

The *SecurityLevel* parameter shows whether the request has been authenticated. If *SecurityLevel* is 0, the request has *NOT* been authenticated (i.e. the packet signature has not been verified). For an authenticated, non encrypted request, *SecurityLevel* is 1. For an authenticated and encrypted request, *SecurityLevel* is 2.

To send a response, the *Respond* parameter must be set to true. By default, this value is false, which means no response will be sent. The *ErrorStatus* parameter may also be set to a valid SNMP status code (the default value is 0, which represents no error).

The following is a list of valid SNMP status code values:

| --- | --- |
| 0 (noError) | No error. |
| 1 (tooBig) | The response cannot fit in a single SNMP message. |
| 2 (noSuchName) | Variable does not exist. |
| 3 (badValue) | Invalid value or syntax. |
| 4 (readOnly) | Variable is read-only. |
| 5 (genError) | Other error (SNMPv1). |
| 6 (noAccess) | Access denied. |
| 7 (wrongType) | Wrong object type. |
| 8 (wrongLength) | Wrong length. |
| 9 (wrongEncoding) | Wrong encoding. |
| 10 (wrongValue) | Wrong value. |

| 14 (commitFailed) | Commit failed. |
| 15 (undoFailed) | Undo failed. |
| 16 (authorizationError) | Authorization error. |
| 17 (notWritable) | Variable is not writable. |
| 18 (inconsistentName) | Inconsistent name. |

 The *ErrorIndex* parameter indicates the index of the first variable (object) that caused an error. The default value is 0.

Variable indexes start with 0. *ErrorIndex* has no meaning when *ErrorStatus* is 0 (no error).

# on_get_user_password event

Retrieves a password associated with a user.

## Syntax

```text
class SNMPAgentGetUserPasswordEventParams(object):
  @property
  def password_type() -> int: ...

  @property
  def user() -> str: ...

  @property
  def password() -> str: ...
  @password.setter
  def password(value) -> None: ...

  @property
  def algorithm() -> int: ...
  @algorithm.setter
  def algorithm(value) -> None: ...

# In class SNMPAgent:
@property
def on_get_user_password() -> Callable[[SNMPAgentGetUserPasswordEventParams], None]: ...
@on_get_user_password.setter
def on_get_user_password(event_hook: Callable[[SNMPAgentGetUserPasswordEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
```

## Remarks

The on_get_user_password event is fired after initial inspection of SNMPv3 requests.

The type of password required is provided in the *PasswordType* parameter: 1 for authentication, and 2 for encryption (privacy).

The password corresponding to *User* (if any) must be provided in the *Password* parameter. If the password is valid, processing will continue to other events such as [on_get_request](#on_get_request-event), [on_set_request](#on_set_request-event), etc.

If the *PasswordType* parameter is 1 (authentication is used), the *Algorithm* parameter can be set. Possible values are:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| Value | Authentication Algorithm |
| 0 (default) | Any |
| 1 | MD5 |
| 2 | SHA1 |
| 3 | SHA256 |
| 4 | SHA512 |

 If the *PasswordType* parameter is 2 (encryption is used), the *Algorithm* parameter must also be set. Possible values are:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| Value | Encryption Algorithm |
| 1 (default) | DES |
| 2 | AES |
| 3 | 3DES |
| 4 | AES192 |
| 5 | AES256 |

If the password does not match the signature in the request, a [on_bad_packet](#on_bad_packet-event) event will be fired, at which point you can decide whether to report the error to the client (see the description of the [on_bad_packet](#on_bad_packet-event) event for more information).

If the *User* is invalid or unknown, set the password to empty string (default) to ignore the request. This will result in a [on_bad_packet](#on_bad_packet-event) event being fired, at which point you can decide whether to report the error to the client or not.

# on_get_user_security_level event

Sets the security level for an incoming packet.

## Syntax

```text
class SNMPAgentGetUserSecurityLevelEventParams(object):
  @property
  def user() -> str: ...

  @property
  def engine_id() -> bytes: ...

  @property
  def security_level() -> int: ...
  @security_level.setter
  def security_level(value) -> None: ...

# In class SNMPAgent:
@property
def on_get_user_security_level() -> Callable[[SNMPAgentGetUserSecurityLevelEventParams], None]: ...
@on_get_user_security_level.setter
def on_get_user_security_level(event_hook: Callable[[SNMPAgentGetUserSecurityLevelEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
```

## Remarks

The on_get_user_security_level event is fired after the first inspection of each SNMPv3 request. The *SecurityLevel* parameter determines the level of security for the message.

On entry, the *SecurityLevel* parameter contains the default security level for *User* if the user is located in the internal cache, or if the *User* is not found in the cache, the *SecurityLevel* will be -1.

The value of *SecurityLevel* upon exiting the event, determines how the message will be processed:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| -1 | The message will be ignored and a [on_bad_packet](#on_bad_packet-event) event will be fired. |
| 0 | No security. The message will be processed without any authentication and/or encryption. |
| 1 | Authentication only. The message will be checked for a valid signature and the [on_get_user_password](#on_get_user_password-event) event will be fired to verify the authentication password. |
| 2 | Authentication and Privacy. The message will be checked for a valid signature and the [on_get_user_password](#on_get_user_password-event) event will be fired twice: first to verify the authentication password, and then to verify the privacy password. |

# on_hash_password event

Fired before and after a password is hashed.

## Syntax

```text
class SNMPAgentHashPasswordEventParams(object):
  @property
  def password() -> str: ...

  @property
  def auth_algorithm() -> int: ...

  @property
  def hash() -> str: ...
  @hash.setter
  def hash(value) -> None: ...

# In class SNMPAgent:
@property
def on_hash_password() -> Callable[[SNMPAgentHashPasswordEventParams], None]: ...
@on_hash_password.setter
def on_hash_password(event_hook: Callable[[SNMPAgentHashPasswordEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
```

## Remarks

SNMPv3 passwords are hashed in order to obtain authentication and encryption keys. This is an expensive operation, and in certain situations it may be preferable to store the hashed passwords externally and supply them on demand.

If a hash is required, the event fires with an empty string in the *Hash* parameter. In this case, you can choose to supply a value for the hash and stop the class from computing the hash.

The event also fires every time a hash is computed. In this case, the *Hash* parameter contains the value of the computed hash.

*AuthAlgorithm* contains either 1 for HMAC-MD5-96, 2 for HMAC-SHA-96 or 3 for HMAC-192-SHA-256

# on_packet_trace event

Fired for every packet sent or received.

## Syntax

```text
class SNMPAgentPacketTraceEventParams(object):
  @property
  def packet() -> bytes: ...

  @property
  def direction() -> int: ...

  @property
  def packet_address() -> str: ...

  @property
  def packet_port() -> int: ...

# In class SNMPAgent:
@property
def on_packet_trace() -> Callable[[SNMPAgentPacketTraceEventParams], None]: ...
@on_packet_trace.setter
def on_packet_trace(event_hook: Callable[[SNMPAgentPacketTraceEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
```

## Remarks

The on_packet_trace event shows all the packets sent or received by the class.

*Packet* contains the full contents of the datagram.

*Direction* shows the direction of the packet: 1 for incoming packets, and 2 for outgoing packets.

In the case of an incoming packet, *PacketAddress* and *PacketPort* identify the source of the packet.

In the case of an outgoing packet, *PacketAddress* and *PacketPort* identify the destination of the packet.

# on_ready_to_send event

Fired when the class is ready to send data.

## Syntax

```text
class SNMPAgentReadyToSendEventParams(object):
# In class SNMPAgent:
@property
def on_ready_to_send() -> Callable[[SNMPAgentReadyToSendEventParams], None]: ...
@on_ready_to_send.setter
def on_ready_to_send(event_hook: Callable[[SNMPAgentReadyToSendEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
```

## Remarks

The on_ready_to_send event indicates that the underlying TCP/IP subsystem is ready to accept data after a failed DataToSend(TBD. DataToSend is removed).

# on_report event

Fired when a Report packet is received.

## Syntax

```text
class SNMPAgentReportEventParams(object):
  @property
  def request_id() -> int: ...

  @property
  def snmp_version() -> int: ...

  @property
  def community() -> str: ...

  @property
  def user() -> str: ...

  @property
  def security_level() -> int: ...

  @property
  def source_address() -> str: ...

  @property
  def source_port() -> int: ...

  @property

  def error_status() -> int: ...

  @property
  def error_description() -> str: ...

# In class SNMPAgent:
@property
def on_report() -> Callable[[SNMPAgentReportEventParams], None]: ...
@on_report.setter
def on_report(event_hook: Callable[[SNMPAgentReportEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
```

## Remarks

For SNMPv3, the *User* parameter shows the user that was supplied with the packet. This parameter *MUST* be used together with the *SecurityLevel* parameter which shows the level of security in the message.

The *SecurityLevel* parameter shows whether the request has been authenticated. If *SecurityLevel* is 0, the request has *NOT* been authenticated (i.e. the packet signature has not been verified). For an authenticated, non encrypted request, *SecurityLevel* is 1. For an authenticated and encrypted request, *SecurityLevel* is 2.

The list of variables in the SNMP packet, including optional values and types, is provided through the objects collection. Each object is of type SNMPObject. This type describes the [obj_id](#obj_id-property), [obj_type](#obj_type-property), and [obj_value](#obj_value-property) of each SNMP object. These variables must be copied to another location before the event has completed executing, or they may be overridden by other events.

 The *SourceAddress* and *SourcePort* parameters show the address and port of the sender as reported by the TCP/IP stack.

# on_set_request event

Fired when a SetRequest packet is received.

## Syntax

```text
class SNMPAgentSetRequestEventParams(object):
  @property
  def request_id() -> int: ...

  @property
  def message_id() -> int: ...

  @property
  def snmp_version() -> int: ...

  @property

def on_set_request() -> Callable[[SNMPAgentSetRequestEventParams], None]: ...
@on_set_request.setter
def on_set_request(event_hook: Callable[[SNMPAgentSetRequestEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
```

## Remarks

The list of variables in the SNMP packet, including optional values and types, is provided through the objects collection. Each object is of type SNMPObject. This type describes the [obj_id](#obj_id-property), [obj_type](#obj_type-property), and [obj_value](#obj_value-property) of each SNMP object. These variables must be copied to another location before the event has completed executing, or they may be overridden by other events.

 The *SourceAddress* and *SourcePort* parameters show the address and port of the sender as reported by the TCP/IP stack.

The *MessageId* parameter identifies the received request.

For SNMPv3, the *User* parameter shows the user that was supplied with the packet. This parameter *MUST* be used together with the *SecurityLevel* parameter which shows the level of security in the message.

The *SecurityLevel* parameter shows whether the request has been authenticated. If *SecurityLevel* is 0, the request has *NOT* been authenticated (i.e. the packet signature has not been verified). For an authenticated, non encrypted request, *SecurityLevel* is 1. For an authenticated and encrypted request, *SecurityLevel* is 2.

To send a response, the *Respond* parameter must be set to true. By default, this value is false, which means no response will be sent. The *ErrorStatus* parameter may also be set to a valid SNMP status code (the default value is 0, which represents no error).

The following is a list of valid SNMP status code values:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| 0 (noError) | No error. |
| 1 (tooBig) | The response cannot fit in a single SNMP message. |
| 2 (noSuchName) | Variable does not exist. |
| 3 (badValue) | Invalid value or syntax. |
| 4 (readOnly) | Variable is read-only. |
| 5 (genError) | Other error (SNMPv1). |
| 6 (noAccess) | Access denied. |
| 7 (wrongType) | Wrong object type. |
| 8 (wrongLength) | Wrong length. |
| 9 (wrongEncoding) | Wrong encoding. |
| 10 (wrongValue) | Wrong value. |
| 11 (noCreation) | No creation. |
| 12 (inconsistentValue) | Inconsistent value. |
| 13 (resourceUnavailable) | Resource unavailable. |
| 14 (commitFailed) | Commit failed. |
| 15 (undoFailed) | Undo failed. |
| 16 (authorizationError) | Authorization error. |
| 17 (notWritable) | Variable is not writable. |
| 18 (inconsistentName) | Inconsistent name. |

 The *ErrorIndex* parameter indicates the index of the first variable (object) that caused an error. The default value is 0.

Variable indexes start with 0. *ErrorIndex* has no meaning when *ErrorStatus* is 0 (no error).

# on_ssl_client_authentication event

Fired when the client presents its credentials to the server.

## Syntax

```text
class SNMPAgentSSLClientAuthenticationEventParams(object):
  @property
  def remote_address() -> str: ...

  @property
  def remote_port() -> int: ...

  @property
  def cert_encoded() -> bytes: ...

@on_ssl_client_authentication.setter
def on_ssl_client_authentication(event_hook: Callable[[SNMPAgentSSLClientAuthenticationEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
```

## Remarks

This event fires when a client connects to the class and presents a certificate for authentication. The *Accept* parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether to continue or not.

When *Accept* is False, *Status* shows why the verification failed (otherwise, *Status* contains the string "OK").

*RemoteAddress* is the IP address of the connecting client.

*RemotePort* is the source port of the connecting client.

*CertEncoded* is the base64 encoded certificate presented by the client.

*CertSubject* is the subject of the certificate presented by the client.

*CertIssuer* is the subject of the issuer of the certificate presented by the client.

*Status* is the status of the certificate.

*Accept* defines whether the certificate is accepted.

# on_ssl_server_authentication event

Fires when connecting to the server.

## Syntax

```text

@on_ssl_server_authentication.setter
def on_ssl_server_authentication(event_hook: Callable[[SNMPAgentSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams], None]) -> None: ...
```

## Remarks

This event is where the client can decide whether to continue with the connection process or not. The *Accept* parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether to continue or not.

When *Accept* is False, *Status* shows why the verification failed (otherwise, *Status* contains the string "OK"). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the *Accept* parameter to True.

*RemoteAddress* is the IP address of the server.

*RemotePort* is the source port of the server.

*CertEncoded* is the base64 encoded certificate presented by the server.

*CertSubject* is the subject of the certificate presented by the server.

*CertIssuer* is the subject of the issuer of the certificate presented by the server.

*Status* is the status of the certificate.

*Accept* defines whether the certificate is accepted.

# on_ssl_status event

Shows the progress of the secure connection.

## Syntax

```text

```

## Remarks

The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. It is used to track the progress of the connection.

*RemoteAddress* is the IP address of the remote machine.

*RemotePort* is the port of the remote machine.

*Message* is the log message.

# SNMPAgent Config Settings

 The class accepts one or more of the following *configuration settings*. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these *internal properties* is provided through the [config](#config-method) method.

### SNMPAgent Config Settings

**AuthenticationKey**: The key to use for authentication.This setting takes the hex-encoded key for authentication and may be set before calling [send_secure_trap](#send_secure_trap-method).

**CompatibilityMode**: Whether to operate the component in a specific compatibility mode.This setting will cause the component to operate in a manner different than normal so that it is compatible with third-party products and libraries. The following table lists the possible values for this setting:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| 0 (default) | Component operates normally for greatest compatibility. |
| 1 | Component uses SNMP4j-compatible encryption (AES192 and AES256). |
| 2 | Component automatically detects whether to use SNMP4j-compatible encryption (AES192 and AES256). Note: This option is only applicable when receiving packets. If you are using [SNMPMgr](SNMPMgr.md#SNMPMgr) or sending secure traps, you will need to select either 0 or 1. |

**ContextEngineId**: Sets the context engine id of the SNMP entity. If set, the context engine id included in the PDU will be set.

**ContextName**: Sets the context name of the SNMP entity. If set, the context name included in the PDU will be set.

**DataToSend**: Sends a raw packet.This should be set to the hexadecimal representation of a packet. When set the represented packet is sent.

**DecryptLogPackets**: Whether to decrypt logged packets.When set to *True* this setting will cause the class to decrypt packets logged in [on_packet_trace](#on_packet_trace-event). This only applies when using SNMP Version 3. The default is *False*.

**EncryptionKey**: The key to use for encryption.This setting takes the hex-encoded key for encryption and may be set before calling [send_secure_trap](#send_secure_trap-method).

**ForceLocalPort**: Forces the class to bind to a specific port. The default value is True, which makes the class throw an error if [local_port](#local_port-property) is busy. When [ForceLocalPort](#ForceLocalPort) is set to False and the port is busy, the class silently chooses another random port.

**IgnoreDiscoveryRequestType**: Treats other request types as discovery requests.When *True* tells the class to treat any request with an empty *EngineID* and *varBindList* as a discovery request. The default is *False*.

**IncomingContextEngineId**: The engine Id of the received packet.This setting holds the engine Id of the received packet. This may be queried at any time, including from within an event, and returns the engine Id of the received packet. This is not needed in most cases, but can be used to store the incoming engine Id to send an asynchronous response later. This value is read-only.

**IncomingContextName**: The context name of the received packet.This setting holds the context name of the received packet. This may be queried at any time, including from within an event, and returns the context name of the received packet. This is not needed in most cases, but can be used to store the incoming context name to send an asynchronous response later. This value is read-only.

**MsgMaxSize**: The maximum supported message size.This setting specifies the maximum supported message size in bytes. This is only applicable when [snmp_version](#snmp_version-property) is set to 3. This corresponds to the "msgMaxSize" field in the request. The default maximum message size is *16384* bytes.

**RespondFromDestIP**: Whether to respond from the IP address that the request was sent to.By default the class will always respond from the interface defined by [local_host](#local_host-property). In the case where aliases have been defined on the system, incoming traffic may have a different value for the destination. This setting tells the class to respond using a source address that matches the destination address of the received packet. This setting should only be set to True if there is a specific reason to do so.

**SourceAddress**: The source address of the received packet.This setting holds the source address of the received packet. This may be queried at any time, including from within an event, and returns the source address of the received packet. This value is read-only.

**SourcePort**: The source port of the received packet.This setting holds the source port of the received packet. This may be queried at any time, including from within an event, and returns the source port of the received packet. This value is read-only.

**TimeWindow**: The time window used for SNMPv3 timeliness checking (authentication).The default value is 150 (seconds).

**TrapAgentAddress**: The address of the object generating the trap.This setting is used to specify the agent-addr field when sending V1 Traps. The default value is the address of the localhost. This value must be an IPv4 address.

**TrapCommunity**: The value of the Community parameter for SNMP traps.Typical values are "public" or "private". The default value is "public".

**TrapEnterprise**: The type of the object generating the trap.This setting specifies the type of object generating the SNMP Trap. The default value is "1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5" (i.e. SNMPv2-MIB::snmpTraps).

**TrapPort**: The port where SNMP traps are sent. The *TrapPort* is the UDP port where SNMP traps are sent.

A valid port number (a value between 1 and 65535) is required. The default value is 162.

### UDP Config Settings

**CaptureIPPacketInfo**: Used to capture the packet information.If this is set to True, the component will capture the IP packet information.

The default value for this setting is False.

NOTE: This configuration setting is available only in Windows.

**DelayHostResolution**: Whether the hostname is resolved when RemoteHost is set.This configuration setting specifies whether a hostname is resolved immediately when remote_host is set. If *True* the class will resolve the hostname and the IP address will be present in the remote_host property. If *False*, the hostname is not resolved until needed by the component when a method to connect or send data is called. If desired, resolve_remote_host may be called to manually resolve the value in remote_host at any time.

The default value is *False*.

**DestinationAddress**: Used to get the destination address from the packet information.If [CaptureIPPacketInfo](#CaptureIPPacketInfo) is set to True, then this will be populated with the packet's destination address when a packet is received. This information will be accessible in the DataIn event.

NOTE: This configuration setting is available only in Windows.

**DontFragment**: Used to set the Don't Fragment flag of outgoing packets.When set to True, packets sent by the class will have the Don't Fragment flag set. The default value is False.

**LocalHost**: The name of the local host through which connections are initiated or accepted. The [local_host](#local_host-property) setting contains the name of the local host as obtained by the *gethostname()* system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address.

In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface), setting LocalHost to the value of an interface will make the class initiate connections (or accept in the case of server classes) only through that interface.

If the class is connected, the [local_host](#local_host-property) setting shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).

**LocalPort**: The port in the local host where the class binds. This configuration setting must be set before a connection is attempted. It instructs the class to bind to a specific port (or communication endpoint) in the local machine.

Setting this to 0 (default) enables the system to choose a port at random. The chosen port will be shown by [local_port](#local_port-property) after the connection is established.

[local_port](#local_port-property) cannot be changed once a connection is made. Any attempt to set this when a connection is active will generate an error.

This configuration setting is useful when trying to connect to services that require a trusted port on the client side. An example is the remote shell (rsh) service in UNIX systems.

**MaxPacketSize**: The maximum length of the packets that can be received.This configuration setting specifies the maximum size of the datagrams that the class will accept without truncation.

**QOSDSCPValue**: Used to specify an arbitrary QOS/DSCP setting (optional).[UseConnection](#UseConnection) must be True to use this configuration setting. This option allows you to specify an arbitrary DSCP value between 0 and 63. The default is 0. When set to the default value, the component will not set a DSCP value.

NOTE: This configuration setting uses the qWAVE API and is available only on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, and later.

**QOSTrafficType**: Used to specify QOS/DSCP settings (optional).[UseConnection](#UseConnection) must be True to use this setting. You may specify either the text or integer values: BestEffort (0), Background (1), ExcellentEffort (2), AudioVideo (3), Voice (4), and Control (5).

NOTE: This configuration setting uses the qWAVE API and is available only on Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 or above.

NOTE: QOSTrafficType must be set before setting [active](#active-property) to True.

**ShareLocalPort**: If set to True, allows more than one instance of the class to be active on the same local port.This option must be set before the class is activated through the [active](#active-property) property or it will have no effect.

The default value for this setting is False.

**SourceIPAddress**: Used to set the source IP address used when sending a packet.This configuration setting can be used to override the source IP address when sending a packet.

NOTE: This configuration setting is available only in Windows and requires that the winpcap library be installed (or npcap with winpcap compatibility).

**SourceMacAddress**: Used to set the source MAC address used when sending a packet.This configuration setting can be used to override the source MAC address when sending a packet.

NOTE: This configuration setting is available only in Windows and requires that the winpcap library be installed (or npcap with winpcap compatibility).

**UseConnection**: Determines whether to use a connected socket.[UseConnection](#UseConnection) specifies whether or not the class should use a connected socket. The connection is defined as an association in between the local address/port and the remote address/port. As such, this is not a connection in the traditional Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) sense. It means only that the class will send and receive data to and from the specified destination.

The default value for this setting is False.

**UseIPv6**: Whether or not to use IPv6.By default, the component expects an IPv4 address for local and remote host properties, and it will create an IPv4 socket. To use IPv6 instead, set this to True.

### Socket Config Settings

**AbsoluteTimeout**: Determines whether timeouts are inactivity timeouts or absolute timeouts.If [AbsoluteTimeout](#AbsoluteTimeout) is set to True, any method that does not complete within timeout seconds will be aborted. By default, *AbsoluteTimeout* is False, and the timeout is an inactivity timeout.

NOTE: This option is not valid for User Datagram Protocol (UDP) ports.

**FirewallData**: Used to send extra data to the firewall.When the firewall is a tunneling proxy, use this property to send custom (additional) headers to the firewall (e.g., headers for custom authentication schemes).

**InBufferSize**: The size in bytes of the incoming queue of the socket.This is the size of an internal queue in the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP stack. You can increase or decrease its size depending on the amount of data that you will be receiving. In some cases, increasing the value of the *InBufferSize* setting can provide significant improvements in performance.

Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the class is activated the *InBufferSize* reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.

**OutBufferSize**: The size in bytes of the outgoing queue of the socket.This is the size of an internal queue in the TCP/IP stack. You can increase or decrease its size depending on the amount of data that you will be sending. In some cases, increasing the value of the *OutBufferSize* setting can provide significant improvements in performance.

Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the class is activated the *OutBufferSize* reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.

### Base Config Settings

**LicenseInfo**: Information about the current license.When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the license this instance of a class is using. It will return the following information:

- Product: The product the license is for.
- Product Key: The key the license was generated from.
- License Source: Where the license was found (e.g., RuntimeLicense, License File).
- License Type: The type of license installed (e.g., Royalty Free, Single Server).
- Last Valid Build: The last valid build number for which the license will work.

**MaskSensitiveData**: Whether sensitive data is masked in log messages.In certain circumstances it may be beneficial to mask sensitive data, like passwords, in log messages. Set this to *True* to mask sensitive data. The default is *True*.

**ProcessIdleEvents**: Whether the class uses its internal event loop to process events when the main thread is idle.If set to False, the class will not fire internal idle events. Set this to False to use the class in a background thread on Mac OS. By default, this setting is True.

**SelectWaitMillis**: The length of time in milliseconds the class will wait when DoEvents is called if there are no events to process.If there are no events to process when [do_events](#do_events-method) is called, the class will wait for the amount of time specified here before returning. The default value is 20.

**UseInternalSecurityAPI**: Whether or not to use the system security libraries or an internal implementation. When set to *False*, the class will use the system security libraries by default to perform cryptographic functions where applicable.

Setting this configuration setting to *True* tells the class to use the internal implementation instead of using the system security libraries.

 On Windows, this setting is set to *False* by default. On Linux/macOS, this setting is set to *True* by default.

 To use the system security libraries for Linux, OpenSSL support must be enabled. For more information on how to enable OpenSSL, please refer to the [OpenSSL Notes](platforms.md) section.
