| Check Text (C-41032r647873_chk) |
| Verify that SNMP encryption uses AES by entering the following command: cli% showsnmpuser Username AuthProtocol PrivProtocol 3parsnmpuser HMAC-SHA-96 CFB128-AES-128 If the PrivProtocol in the result is not AES, this is a finding. |
| Fix Text (F-40991r647874_fix) |
| Configure the storage system to use AES encryption for SNMPv3 by entering the command: cli% setsnmpmgr -snmpuser 3parsnmpuser -pw <password> -version 3 <IP address of SNMP manager> |
