    When on AIX 5.2, we were with SNMP v1.

    Can you help me on how to migrate from snmpd.conf to snmpdv3.conf?

    I use these instructions but it doesn't work:

    Maybe something I don't understand...

    I will show you the snmpd.conf that I have to migrate.
    Can you show me how it have to look in snmpdv3.conf?

    It's probably better to use "/usr/sbin/snmpv3_ssw -n" to switch SNMP. It switches the links for snmpd and clsnmp for you, then restarts the agent.

    We're using SNMP for network discovery, and I've found that SNMPv1 provides all the information we are looking for, while SNMPv3 only provides the bare minimum. As far as I can tell, the AIX implementation of SNMPv3 is only a framework. If you want more information, you have to add in additional modules.

    I've also looked at Net-SNMP, as a replacement for AIX's SNMP. It's a little better in that it has more modules to provide more information, but it does not provide any network information.
