First a rant...
As if the Toys-R-Us style "My First Network Switch' web interface they introduced on older switches and on the new ones wasn't bad enough (I know the old one was looking very old fashioned, but at least it was efficient with its use of monitor screen space!) I'm find working with ArubaOS-CX (PL.10.08.1010) SO frustrating.
For instance, on a 2530 switch the CLI offers 12 options after 'show snmpv3' and in config mode the 'snmpv3' command has 9 options.
But on an Aruba 6000? 'show snmpv3' has just 4, and the 'snmpv3' config command has only 5, and 'debug snmp' has apparently gone.
And the text menu has been completely done away with. Again, I know it's a bity old-fashioned, but I'm an old-fashioned kind of guy who hasn't done much in the way of supporting network devices in his 30+ years of working in IT so I found it useful!
Anyhoo...
I've configured an SNMPv3 user on our Aruba 6000 something like so...
On one of our 2530s I'd then run 'snmpv3 group managerpriv user snmp3-user sec-model ver3' but guess what? 'group' is no longer a valid option.
The end result is our monitoring solution (PRTG by Paessler) can't connect to this one device. It can connect to all our other switches to which I've added the same SNMPv3 credentials, but this 'My First Switch CLI' firmware seems to be missing something to make it work!
Are we forever bound to fail our Pen/Security Tests because I'm unable to get snmpv3 working on this one switch?
