Just a hunch about your snmpwalk, what happens if you format like this?
snmpwalk -l authpriv -v 3 -u user -a MD5 -x DES -A authpassphrase -X
privpassphrase {host address}
so
snmpwalk -l authpriv -v 3 -u nut -a MD5 -x DES -A NutScan@Password43LongerWord
-X NutScan@Password43LongerWord apcups
Thank you,

I'm trying to get SNMPv3 management working for an APC AP9617 card. It is newly
refurbed, running sumx v3.7.2 and aos v3.7.3.
In the SNMPv3 user profiles section I have (I don't care about the password
leaking, it's temporary):
User Name: nut
Authentication Passphrase: NutScan@Password43LongerWord
Privacy Passphrase: NutScan@Password43LongerWord
Authentication protocol: MD5 (only option other than none)
Privacy Protocol: DES (only option other than none)
In access control I've enabled user nut.
However, when I try to use nut-scanner on it:
$ nut-scanner -S -s apcups --secLevel authPriv --secName nut --authProtocol MD5
--authPassword NutScan@Password43LongerWord --privProtocol DES --privPassword
NutScan@Password43LongerWord
Scanning SNMP bus.
Error: unknown authtypeError generating Ku from authentication pass phrase
snmpwalk gives a different error:
$ snmpwalk -v 3 -u nut apcups -x DES -X NutScan@Password43LongerWord -a MD5 -A
NutScan@Password43LongerWord
snmpwalk: Decryption error
I've tried it with all lowercase, mixed case, mixed case + numbers, and the one
you see here. I've also used an 18 character password. All get exactly the same
result.
I've tried setting the privacy protocol to none and leaving off the -x & -X
flags, still get the same error messages.
I see a note in APC's documentation that it may take some time for the card to
be ready to talk SNMPv3. I've waited as long as 15 minutes with no change in
behavior.
snmpwalk and nut-scanner are both happy SNMPv1 -c public.
Can anyone tell me, please, what trivially obvious thing am I missing?
thanks,
nomad
