Check Text ( C-29132r485240_chk )
Verify the SNMP daemon is not configured to use the v1 or v2c security models.
# egrep '(v1|v2c|community|com2sec)' /etc/sma/snmp/snmpd.conf /var/sma_snmp/snmpd.conf /etc/snmp/conf/snmpd.conf /usr/sfw/lib/sma_snmp/snmpd.conf | grep -v '^#'
If any configuration is found, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-29120r485241_fix)
Edit non-compliant snmpd.conf files and remove references to the v1, v2c, community, or com2sec. Restart the SNMP service.
# svcadm restart svc:/application/management/sma:default
