Error Generating Snmpv3 Ku From Authentication Passphrase
account only takes a few minutes. Join Now Hey all, I've been at this for a number of hours now, but I can't seem to get SNMPv3 authentication working correctly between Spiceworks and a printer on my network. Some background: The printer in question (a HP Laserjet 3300) is identified correctly by Spiceworks when running a scan. When I use SNMPv1 authentication on both devices, Spiceworks correctly discovers a load of additional information about the printer (cartridge level, memory, kernel, etc). Unfortunately, SNMPv1 is not secure enough, and I would like to use SNMPv3. I have tried everything I can think of, but when I try to test a connection between Spiceworks and the printer with a new Spiceworks-designated SNMPv3 account, it says my credentials are incorrect. I have tried using both md5-encrypted and unencrypted 'authentication' passwords for the Spiceworks account. The username I was trying to use is snmptest. I have tried using just snmptest for the username, as well as authPriv:md5:des:snmpTest, and authNoPriv:md5:snmpTest, but nothing seems to work. I have attached an image of both interfaces I need to use to set up the connection for reference. I would prefer that the connection utilize both authentication and encryption, so any help would be majorly appreciated. If I left anything information-wise out, I apologize. Thanks!

I've used the read-only setting successfully when testing SNMP support through Spiceworks but we would really like to avoid usi

Has anyone got this working, there are something missing from the recent comments, l have tried everything!!!! if anyone got "how to" documented from command line (switch) (enabling snmpv3) to entering the snmpv3 account on Spiceworks to test? i have enabled the snmpv3 on the switch and entered username/password on the account to test authPriv:des::
