SNMP Comments Part II

Earlier today I described how to modify the sysLocation MIB entry using SNMP v1 or v2c.

I can do so with SNMP v3 too.

Here is the syntax, followed by packet captures. I disabled encryption so we could read the protocol.

orr:/home/richard$ snmpset -v 3 -u richard -l authNoPriv -a MD5 -A bejtlichpass
 127.0.0.1 sysLocation.0 s Manassas
SNMPv2-MIB::sysLocation.0 = STRING: Manassas

Here is the SNMP v3 set.
