The diagnostic interface is reachable over a VPN tunnel by our NMS server (can ping and ssh into it), but the firewall (ASA 5508X running FTD 7.0.1, managed mostly by CDO except for SNMP and DHCP relay (argh!!)) isn't responding to SNMPv3 queries - nothing comes back as shown in Wireshark. I noticed that a public community string is configured by default (why??!!!), and it isn't responding for this either. Does anything have to be configured for the diagnostic interface for the firewall to respond? Thank you.

It is reachable - I can both ping and ssh into the management interface from the NMS. SNMP was configured without error according to https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/firepower-ngfw/216551-configure-and-troubleshoot-snmp-on-firep.html.
I've considered moving the SNMP configuration to the outside interface, but at this point I can't figure out how to remove the public community string that was preconfigured on the FTD. The firewall doesn't appear to be responding to the public string on the outside interface currently, and I don't really want to insert another one I know will be responding.

I have the same issue with my FTDs. Documentation states that SNMP from the management interface is supported but I have not been able to get it working. We have also moved the SNMP to data interfaces instead.
