Hi,

How to disable SNMPv1/SNMPv2C in 8.3.x C-Mode device & I would like to receive the Traps through SNMPv3 only @ destination host side.

Here the steps followed.

I ensured the Community string is not configured (public community string is deleted) & It has SNMPv3 user created. Traphost is configured to receive the Traps.

SOM83Cluster::> security login create -user-or-group-name md5 -application snmp -authmethod usm -role admin

Enter the authoritative entity's EngineID [local EngineID]:

Which authentication protocol do you want to choose (none, md5, sha) [none]: md5

Enter the authentication protocol password (minimum 8 characters long):

Enter the authentication protocol password again:

Which privacy protocol do you want to choose (none, des) [none]: des

Enter privacy protocol password (minimum 8 characters long):

Enter privacy protocol password again:

SOM83Cluster::> security snmpusers -instance

Vserver: SOM83Cluster

User Name: md5

Authentication Method: usm

Engine Id: 800003150563412fba6cf5e5119d3d0050568e4ff5

Authentication Protocol: md5

Privacy Protocol: des

Security Group: readwrite

SOM83Cluster::>

But still the trap received @ destination host is showing the SNMP version as V1.

So, Can you please help me on disabling SNMP v1/V2c? I would like to receive the traps through SNMPv3 only.

Your help is appreciated.

Regards
