hi,

please advise.

we are using SNMPv2 and have ace version 3.0(0)A5(1.1) which does not apply to the bug description below:

Symptom:
Standby ACE "snmp-server user password" MD5 hash as well as "privacy
password"
(if configured) synchronize with that of the Active ACE.
This results in SNMPv3 access failure to Standby ACE.

Conditions:
For an ACE pair in FT configuration :

(1) If the ACE is configured with an "snmp-server user" profile with or
without privacy password,
(2) Each ACE module is configured with a unique SNMPv3 "engineid" and
(3) the Standby ACE reloads.

Workaround:
Peer engine id is added.

could it be that since we are using SNMPv2 we cannot do sychronisation between user database and CLI users ?
