Easy steps to configure SNMPv3 to work with 3rd party NMS

[Arjumand_Qazi]

What are the easy steps to configure snmpv3 on XOS switch that will be discovered by 3rd party NMS via snmpv3.

in GTAC i can see some commands that is to connect the XOS device to Netsight.

is defining snmpv3 user and snmpv3 would be enough for the xos device to be seen and managed by 3rd party NMS.

Hi Arjumand,

Take a look at the following script for EXOS switches. It will walk you through SNMPv3 configuration.
