Issue

  • Unable to modify switch monitoring to use SNMPv3:

netapp01::*> system switch ethernet modify -device netapp-1.netapp.com(xxxxxx) -snmp-version SNMPv3 -community-or-username SNMPv3User

Warning: Settings updated, but the SNMPv3 validation request timed out. Verify that the "-community-or-username" parameter is valid (i.e., the SNMPv3 user exists in ONTAP and on the remote switch). If the
"-community-or-username" parameter is valid, verify that the SNMPv3 user's credentials are the same both in ONTAP as well as in the remote switch. If a custom engine-id was provided for the SNMPv3 user,
ensure it is the same as that of the remote switch.

  • Switches are successfully monitored using SNMPv2
  • Documentation on how to configure SNMPv3 for monitoring followed: Configure SNMPv3
