Cisco implemented their v3 differently than the other vendors.  If you 
want to be able to read the Bridge-MIB, you need to explicitly state that 
each vlan context is viewable.

Very simply, you need to add the context to the SNMP group to allow your 
users to poll the given context. For example, to allow users to poll the 
BRIDGE-MIB for context vlan-6, you would add something like:

snmp-server group v3group v3 auth context vlan-6 read v1default

Subject: [spectrum] SNMPv3 Monitoring of CISCO switches ( connections )

Hello list, 

Is there anyone monitoring CISCO switches with Spectrum using SNMPv3?  We 
are having difficulty discovering connections on devices that are 
monitored with SNMPv3. 

Any help will be greatly appreciated. 


Thanks.
