Problems with Extreme and SNMPv3 in Orion

Hi everyone, just started using Solarwinds Orion - having a ton of trouble getting Extreme network boxes added with SNMPv3. Below is my config:

configure snmpv3 add user nms authentication sha <redacted> privacy aes 256 <redacted>

configure snmpv3 add group orion user nms sec-model usm

configure snmpv3 add access orion sec-model usm sec-level priv read-view orion notify-view defaultNotifyView

configure snmpv3 add mib-view orion subtree 1.3.6.1.2.1.1 type included

configure snmpv3 add target-params user user nms mp-model snmpv3 sec-model usm sec-level priv

disable snmp access snmp-v1v2c

disable snmpv3 default-group

disable snmpv3 default-user

For whatever reason when I add this node, it keeps saying "test failed" - I can ping back and forth between the snmp server and the switch, so I am not sure what the problem is. Has anyone had any luck/trouble with this vendor?

Problem is that it will not support AES, even though configuration options are there. Issue is with Extreme, not Orion.

I believe that the OID is a bit too specific in that it can not access other information in the MIB tree.

Please try the following:

configure snmpv3 add mib-view orion subtree 1.3.6 type included

Thanks for your reply Sean! I have made that change. Making the MIB change was successful, but I still do not see any interfaces in Orion after adding the node. I am still a bit confused why AES 256 option is available but not applicable as well, but that could be a number of things...

EDIT: Needed to generate SSL cert on these switches. After that it worked, and the interfaces showed up after a few minutes.

I believe I see it now. AES needs the cert.
