I am not a network guru by any means but need to setup our router/switch to use SNMPv3. I am installing What's Up Gold on our system and configured the settings (changed for this post) as follows:
Username: testusername
Authentication
Protocol: sha
Password: testpassword
On my router, I have ran the following:
snmp-server view TESTVIEW mib-2 included
snmp-server group TESTGROUP v3 auth read TESTVIEW
snmp-server user ALL TESTGROUP v3 auth sha testpassword
snmp-server host 192.168.12.2 version 3 auth testusername
snmp-server host 192.168.12.2 informs version 3 auth testusername
After inserting these commands, I go back to the SNMP software and attempt to discover the seed address 192.168.12.254, the gateway, but cannot receive a valid connection. I turned debugging on the router but receive nothing in show log. I setup SNMPv2 to test and see if it could even see that and it worked just fine…I am guessing I am missing something in my router configuration…any ideas?

I think your username is wrong in your commands, try substituting
