SNMPv3 Support

Starting with software version 5.4 GigaVUE‑FM creates an SNMPv3 user during the upgrade process from version 5.3. The SNMPv3 user is created with same authentication and privacy settings previous held.

Note:  SNMPv3 support is only available on FM software version 5.4 user and SNMPv3 users created by FM cannot be modified by users.

Enable SNMPv3 on Nodes

You can enable SNMPv3 from the node addition page, If node version 5.4 or higher and SNMPv3 is selected, the FM registers itself as a SNMPv3 trap receiver follower in a bidirectional clock relationship (formerly slave). If the SNMPv3 is chosen and the node version is 5.3 or below then, FM registers itself as a SNMPv2 trap receiver. When this occurs FM reports an event that FM does not support SNMPv3 on the node with 5.3 or lesser version.
