Problem with SNMP v.3 with HP ProCurve 2650B

[Plamen Ivanov]

Hello,

I have a weird problem with HP ProCurve 2650B switch. Model is J4899B, ROM H.08.02, SW 10.45.

I connect it to ProCurve manager and everithyng works fine. But when I tried to make a secure connection via SNMP v.3, nothing works. I have tried with deafault user "initial" - nothing. I create several users with long or short names, long or short passwords, complex or not. The same. I have tried all combination of security protocols. Still the same. It gives me error, that username or passord in SNMPv3 are wrong and I need to check credentials. With SNMP v1/2 no problems.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance.

Hi

Your software is very old. I would first make sure to upgrade it to H.10.83. But be sure to read the release notes! I suspect you will have to upgrade in steps, as the version gap is soo big.

I see in the release notes there are multiple snmpv3 related fixes.
