Usage Information
To enable robust, effective protection and security for SNMP packets transferred
between the server and the client, you can use the snmp-server user
username group groupname 3 auth authentication-type auth-
password priv aes128 priv-password to specify that AES128-CFB
encryption algorithm needs to be used.
You cannot modify the FIPS mode if SNMPv3 users are already configured and
present in the system. An error message is displayed if you attempt to change the
FIPS mode by using the fips mode enable command in Global Configuration
mode. You can enable or disable FIPS mode only if SNMPv3 users are not
previously set up. Otherwise, you must remove the previously configured users
before you change the FIPS mode.
