I am getting an error when configuring snmp v3 on an Alcatel-Lucent OS6900-X40 device which has version 7.3.4.212.R02
I have this configuration on the switch

switch-OS6900-X40 -> show configuration snapshot snmp
! Trap Manager:
snmp station 192.168.1.1 161 "test" v3 enable
! SNMP:
snmp security no-security
snmp authentication-trap enable
snmp community-map mode enable
snmp community-map "test" user "test" enable

I have this configuration for the user
user test password testpassword read-only all sha*des

I am trying to add it to my solarwinds monitoring but I get an error when adding it, I tried with the Paessler snmp tester from prtg and it sends me this error, has someone had something similar happen to them or am I missing some additional configuration

I have tried to test with snmp v2 and it still sends me the same error, if I have communication via ping and ssh from my PC and monitoring server to the switch

aaa authentication snmp "local"

Use port 162 instead of port 161

Code: Select all

snmp station 192.168.1.1 162 test v3 enable

Also, you have some commands that are only for SNMP v2 (for the community string):

Code: Select all

snmp security no-security
snmp community-map mode enable
snmp community-map "test" user "test" enable

And this would be a valid SNMP v3 config:

Code: Select all

aaa authentication snmp local
user test password ***** read-write all sha+aes
snmp security privacy all
snmp station 192.168.1.1 162 test v3 enable
