Hi,
We need to provision the SNMP Agent with SNMPv3 user configuration from GUI and
we are using the following steps to do the same:
1. Stop any SNMP daemon running on the system using kill command.
2. Add the following line in the file /var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf createUser
<username> SHA "<password>" AES
3. Add the following line in the file /usr/local/share/snmp/snmpd.conf
rwuser <username>
4. Start the snmpd daemon – snmpd -d
The issue is that every time a new user is configured, the SNMP Agent needs to
be restarted which is not acceptable to the stakeholders. The re-read of
configuration file using the command kill –HUP (without restart) does not
reload the persistent file. The net-snmp-config command needs restart of the
agent.
The utility snmpusm will have to be built on Montavista (target machine) to
configure v3 users. Please suggest a mechanism where the SNMPv3 user add/delete
will not need Agent restart.
We are usuing net-snmp 5.7.1 version.
