Should we send authenticationFailure traps when auth fails when using SNMPv3

In SNMPv1 and v2c, if there is any authentication failure on the agent,
it can send an authenticationFailure trap to the sender of the SNMP
request. Shouldn't we be doing the same even in the case of an SNMPv3
agent. The RFC seems to be vague or left it to the implementation of the
calling module, as what to do in this case. If we need to be backwards
compatible to v1 or v2c, I don't see why the calling module shouldn't be
sending an authenticationFailure trap, in the above case, even in
SNMPv3. Any clarification is highly appreciated.

 

Thanks
