How do I turn off SNMPv3 privacy on a DFM mgt server (version 4.0.2)

worley — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:49:30 GMT

All,

We have a DFM Mgt server (newly installed) running 4.0.2. It appears like our inability to connect to any hosts is do to the fact that SNMPv3 privacy is turned on within DFM. We have a second DFM server running (in production) that says SNMPv3 privacy is off and it can see hosts just fine. Is there a way to edit this field in DFM? Any pointers would be welcomed!

Thanks,

jeff

Hi Wroley,

If you have enabled privacy for a prticular host/network, please check dfm snmp list

[root@lnx186-58 ~]# dfm snmp list

ID Address Prefix Length Pref SNMP Version Community Auth Protocol Login Privacy

---- ------------------------------------------ -------------- ------------------ ---------- ---------------- ---------------- --------

2 x.x.x.x x bits SNMPv3 SHA abcd Yes

If 'Privacy' is shown as "Yes" & you want to disable it, execute the follwoing command:

dfm snmp modify -X "" x.x.x.x

dfm snmp modify -X "" 2

Now check dfm snmp list again.

[root@lnx186-58 ~]# dfm snmp list

ID Address Prefix Length Pref SNMP Version Community Auth Protocol Login Privacy

---- ------------------------------------------ -------------- ------------------ ---------- ---------------- ---------------- --------

2 x.x.x.x x bits SNMPv3 SHA abcd No

Privacy is set to 'No'

I hope this will be helpful.

Thanks & Regards,

Fahad Ahmed
