RE: Problem in v2 and v3 support....

Hi,

I think you need to modify : net-snmp-config --create-snmpv3-user -a "my_password" myuser

Try this command: net-snmp-config --create-snmpv3-user -a my_password myuser

NO quotes required for pass_phrase.

Thanks,
Mahesh

Subject: Problem in v2 and v3 support....
 
Hi All,
 
   I am using net-snmp-5.0.7--> successfully compiled and running fine.
I compiled it for v3 support with openssl. 
 
  It worked for v2 testing.. as shown below :
  snmpget -c broadcom -v 2c 192.168.31.14 system.sysUpTime.0
  DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (17647) 0:02:56.47

  I have few problems. when I try to test for v3, my command goes as
below :
 snmpget -v 3 -u myuser -l authNoPriv -a MD5 -A my_password
192.168.31.14 sysUpTime.0
 snmpget: Authentication failure (incorrect password, community or key)
(Sub-id not found: iso -> sysUpTime)

I tried mentioning community name also.
 
snmpget -c broadcom -v 3 -u myuser -l authNoPriv -a MD5 -A my_password
192.168.31.14 sysUpTime.0
snmpget: Authentication failure (incorrect password, community or key)
(Sub-id not found: iso -> sysUpTime)

 I couldn't make it why it is happening so? I used following command to
create a user :
 net-snmp-config --create-snmpv3-user -a "my_password" myuser 
 
 My /usr/local/share/snmp/snmpd.conf file looks like as shown below.
