2026-05-22snmp: T8538: Persist engineBoots counter across rebootsOleksandr Kuchmystyi
Per RFC 3414 section 2.2 (Replay Protection), the `snmpEngineBoots` counter must be stored in non-volatile storage and incremented on every snmpd restart. VyOS was not persisting this value, causing it to reset to 1 after every reboot. SNMP managers cache the engineBoots value from previous sessions. When VyOS resets the counter to 1 after reboot, managers reject incoming SNMPv3 trap packets as "too old", producing errors such as: ``` usm: Message too old. reboot count invalid ``` This change introduces `/config/snmp/engineboots.count` as a disk-backed persist file and it uses to sync the counter into snmpd's conf before the daemon starts.
