queries in the non-admin context.
• Does not support SNMP Version 3 for the AIP SSM or AIP SSC.
• Does not support SNMP debugging.
• Does not support retireval of ARP information.
• Does not support SNMP SET commands.
• When using NET-SNMP Version 5.4.2.1, only supports the encryption algorithm version of
AES128. Does not support the encryption algorithm versions of AES256 or AES192.
• Changes to the existing configuration are rejected if the result places the SNMP feature in an
inconsistent state.
• For SNMP Version 3, configuration must occur in the following order: group, user, host.
• Before a group is deleted, you must ensure that all users associated with that group are deleted.
• Before a user is deleted, you must ensure that no hosts are configured that are associated with that
username.
• If users have been configured to belong to a particular group with a certain security model, and if
the security level of that group is changed, you must do the following in this sequence:
– Remove the users from that group.
– Change the group security level.
– Add users that belong to the new group.
• The creation of custom views to restrict user access to a subset of MIB objects is not supported.
• All requests and traps are available in the default Read/Notify View only.
• The connection-limit-reached trap is generated in the admin context. To generate this trap. you must
have at least one snmp-server host configured in the user context in which the connection limit has
been reached.
