6850 snmp v3 issue

[rajamailtome]

Hi

I have a Alcatel-Lucent OS6850-24 6.4.3.520.R01 GA, which i not responding for snmpwalk V3 ,below is the coniguration i have give , could can assist me in checking this isue .


! SNMP :
snmp security no security
snmp authentication trap enable
snmp community map mode off
snmp station X.X.X.X 162 "user" v3 enable
user user password XXXX md5+des read-only all

[devnull]

i think it should work (for snmpv3 only) with this lines:
aaa authentication snmp local
user snmpv3user password 12345678 read-only all md5+des

my default for snmpv3 (writing/Omnivista) and v2 (readonly) is:
aaa authentication snmp local
user snmpv2user password nevereverused read-only all no auth
user snmpv3user password abcd1234 md5+des read-write all
snmp community map "public" user "snmpv2user" on
snmp security authentication set


What i fell for: RFC for snmpv3 specifies the password must be at least 8 Characters.. (so no "test" will ever work) - thats not documented anywhere.

I normally test with Paessler SNMP Tester http://www.paessler.com/tools/snmptester
(it somehow may require to close and reopen the tool once you change from version from v1 to v3 to really access the device.. never figuerd out why.)
