I was under the impression that authNoPriv is a security level for SNMPv3.
When I didn't use the -n ctx_limei1, the cmd returns the sysName of
localhost, please see:
[root@rain configure.d]# snmpget -v 3 -u limei1 -l authNoPriv -a MD5 -A
snmp_limei 127.0.0.1 sysName.0
SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 = STRING: rain
[root@rain configure.d]#
So this means that the snmpv3 GET cmd that I used is correct and I am not
passing a context using v2c, rather I am passing a context using v3. But
how come when I added -n ctx_limei1, the cmd doesn't work? Please see if
there is anything wrong about my snmpd.conf configuration. If yes, please
help correct it. Thanks a lot
