Review SNMPv3 Configuration Details

Consider the following details when you intend to use SNMPv3 for the communication between the CA Server Automation manager and managed nodes in your environment.

• SystemEDGE requires at least one SNMPv1 community for its installation. After CA Server Automation has discovered the server, CA Server Automation treats these SNMPv1 settings as server-specific SNMP settings.
• Verify, that your Infrastructure Managers support SNMPv3.
• Create global SNMPv3 credentials.
• Create a policy for applying SNMPv3 settings to remote servers.
• If you want a pure SNMPv3 configuration, prohibit Policy Configuration from applying server-specific SNMPv1 settings.
