Hi, We need to provision the SNMP Agent with SNMPv3 user configuration from GUI and we are using the following steps to do the same: 1. Stop any SNMP daemon running on the system using kill command. 2. Add the following line in the file /var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf createUser <username> SHA "<password>" AES 3. Add the following line in the file /usr/local/share/snmp/snmpd.conf rwuser <username> 4. Start the snmpd daemon – snmpd -d The issue is that every time a new user is configured, the SNMP Agent needs to be restarted which is not acceptable to the stakeholders. The re-read of configuration file using the command kill –HUP (without restart) does not reload the persistent file. The net-snmp-config command needs restart of the agent. The utility snmpusm will have to be built on Montavista (target machine) to configure v3 users. Please suggest a mechanism where the SNMPv3 user add/delete will not need Agent restart. We are usuing net-snmp 5.7.1 version. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
