What is the action code for SNMPv3 Authentication Reset?

Environment

Release: All Supported Releases
Component: SPCCSS - SpectroSERVER Core

Resolution

In certain scenarios the V3 authentication may need to be reset.

To do so:

Get the model handle of the device.

1. Navigate to $SPECROOT/vnmsh directory using a bash shell
2. Type: ./update action=0x10107 mh=<modelhandle>

This will successfully reset the SNMPv3 authentication.

Alternatively, if permissions allow, the device can be right click -> reconfiguration -> Reset SNMPv3 Authentication

The first steps are handy if it needs to be scripted or permissions do not allow OneClick option.
