snmpv3 config.ini passphrase

[Anonymous user]

I have like 300 snmp cards i need to configure and it is currently on version 1, i need to convert it to version 3. I was able to pull the config.ini on one of the one i set up but there's no parameter/variable for snmpv3 userprofile passphrase so i can put in the passphrase. i search google and here. Best article i got is this one. https://community.se.com/t5/EcoStruxure-IT-forum/bd-p/ecostruxure-it-forum

It state of usage on UserProfile1AuthPhrase and UserProfile1EncryptPhrase, which i tried but did a test connection and it failed. Does anyone knows what the variable/parameter is?

Are you doing this with our StruxureWare Data Center Expert tool or outside with only the config.ini file and our INI push utility/script (or your own script)?

If you have our StruxureWare tool, you can follow the instructions here: http://www.schneider-electric.us/en/faqs/FA158442 

If you're doing it manually, you could check the event log and config.ini to make sure your modifications took. I assume what you meant you did is you modified the SNMPv3 parameters as explained in the config.ini:

; To change the User Profile Auth Phrase, or the
; User Profile Encrypt Phrase, use the UserProfile#AuthPhrase, or
; UserProfile#EncryptPhrase keywords respectively where # is
; the number of the profile. i.e., UserProfile1EncryptPhrase=apc crypt passphrase

Then, you uploaded a config.ini to a device and tried to query it via SNMPv3 and it didn't work? You'd want to make sure all of the SNMPv3 credentials are set properly - access is enabled, read/write permissions are aligned with the right encryption/authentication phrases, access control IP/hostnames are correct, etc.

Hmm. thanks you for hte confirmation and suggestions. I just checked and it seems to apply correctly but that particular card is having issue, even when i did it manually. I tried it on two other cards and i was able to push out the configure via iniutil.exe and able to add to the network management program.

Thank you.
