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.
