I have ASA 5508s, 5510s, and 5516s in my environment. I am using identical configurations all all three platforms, but they do not work on the 5516. Is there a difference in the SNMP configurations between these platforms?
I was looking in the logs. I initiated a test from our on-prem SolarWinds. In the logs, I see:
%ASA-3-212006: Dropping SNMP request from <redacted> to <redacted> because: user not found: <username>
However, <username> is configured as an SNMP user, and the result of: sh ru | i gdsSNMP
snmp-server group <username> v3 priv
snmp-server user <username> <group> v3 engineID 80000009feedca18a4d864f78636e8b7cb6d1a8de99ee0035d encrypted auth md5 <redacted> priv aes 128 <redacted>
snmp-server user <username> <group> v3 engineID 80000009fef669beb72257f96372cf5e2b16908f867cab235e encrypted auth md5 <redacted> priv aes 128 <redacted>
snmp-server host Core-Uplink <snmp-server-ip> version 3 <username>
I know that if the SNMP request was being blocked by firewall, then the error would be different.
Thanks!

considering:
1) commands do not create a user, but adds a user to an snmp-group
2) <username> is Name of the user on the host that connects to the agent.
do you also have a
user <username> password .....
statement on the host that sends the snmp request?

Hello Pieterh,
Yes, the host that sends the request is using the same statement as they are on all of our other gear, and nothing else is failing, so I can safely assume the statement on the host side is correct.
Am I missing a user creation command on the ASA5516?
Thanks!

This is old bug:

Workaround: Remove and add the user again.
(not username ...)

Hi there, thank you for participating in the forums
but this thread is from 2018, and the bug is from 2020 -> so is this really an "old bug ":-)
