Enable SNMPv3 with enhanced security

Enable SNMPv3 with enhanced security

We are setting up some x460G2 and x440G2 units and we chose the initial option to use "enhanced security" which disables SNMP. We only use SNMPv3 in our environment. We followed the steps in the following link, but that isn't enough: https://extremeportal.force.com/ExtrArticleDetail?an=000083334

Our config currently looks like this, but we clearly need something else added to get SNMPv3 working:

configure snmpv3 add user "v3admin" engine-id authentication md5 auth-encrypted localized-key privacy privacy-encrypted localized-key
configure snmpv3 add group "v3group" user "v3admin" sec-model usm
configure snmpv3 add access "v3group" sec-model usm sec-level priv read-view "defaultAdminView" write-view "defaultAdminView" notify-view "defaultAdminView"
disable snmpv3 default-group

Well that was easy and somewhat embarrassing. Just to confirm, none of these other settings that this user refers to are needed, correct? https://www.virtualizationhowto.com/2015/09/enable-snmpv3-on-summit-xos-switch-configured-with-enhan...

Strange that the switch still lets you configure it even though it isn't supported. Thanks for all of the help!

Is AES256 supported by Extreme Management Center? Devices were reporting in when I had it set to 128, but then Management Center lost contact when I upped it to AES256.
