With *any* password-based authentication mechanism, both sides must be configured with the shared authentication information. (typically username and password). So in this case, the manager needs to be configured with the username, password and authentication protocol of any agent that it will communicate with. (Either for sending requests to, or receiving traps from). > Write now at manager side manually I am setting all these parameters > in snmptrapd.conf file. That would be the normal mechanism, yes. > Is there any way dynamically can we do this. If the snmptrapd daemon has registered with the master agent (running on the same host) as an AgentX subagent, then it should be possible to use the 'snmpusm' command to clone/create new users and/or set the password. It would probably be sensible to practise with manipulating users on the master agent itself first - see the snmpusm man page and/or the file README.snmpv3 for details.
