SNMPv3 test fails - snmpwalk works perfectly

robert777

This is a continuation of a previous thread that got flagged as spam because I (erroneously) hit 'reply' too many times.  My bad.

Add node - attempting to add a Red Hat Linux 8 (also tested with RHEL 7) node with net-SNMP v3 credentials.  Test fails.

However, I can successfully run snmpwalk:

1. snmpwalk running on the same SW polling server that I'm trying to add the node to
2. same credentials, AESlevel and SHA Auth
3. my snmpwalk returns the 3 key OIDs for polling test to succeed: 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1 sysdescr
   1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2 sysobjectid
   1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3 sysuptime , and a lot more.

Snmpwalk succeeds 100% of the time.  Add node fails 100% of the time. 

I'm not sure just where to go from here.  At the present time I don't have wireshark on my polling servers but I guess that's a possibility.

I welcome any input from the community on next steps for troubleshooting.

Thanks.

@robert777, assuming you are adding each node individually, have you tried to do it via Network Discovery?
