Converting from SNMP v2 to SNMp v3..having some issues..

[DAVID RICHWALSKI]

Hello...

So I have started to covert my Network from SNMP v2 to SNMP v3

Here is what i have on my Cisco Router but I have a strong feeling that I am missing some things and could use some help...

snmp-server group MYGROUP v3 auth access MYACL

snmp-server user MYUSERNAME MYGROUP v3 auth sha xxxxx priv aes 256 xxxxxx access MYACL
snmp-server host XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX v3 auth    (I GET AN ERROR WHEN I ADD MY USER HERE)
snmp-server community xxxxxx RW MYACL

Also I think I am missing a View, Inform or Trap here...not sure which to select

I am NEW to the SNMP v3 so any help is VERY welcome

Thanks

what is the router model and what version of code running ?

show version will help us to suggest better (some time due to code some config may not accept)

as per the command syntax :

#snmp-server host 1.1.1.1 version 3 auth ?   ( try version 3 instead of v3)
WORD SNMPv1/v2c community string or SNMPv3 user name

Is that command that suggest works, that is the right syntax to use.

Any other suggestions about my config or what i may bee missing???

what config ? SNMP config - SNMPv3 is more secure, and you also have ACL which can only allow respected user or IP to communicate (based on config)

Hope that works for you , if that make answer, mark as resolved - it will be help for other community users.
