So I went to configure my switches with SNMPv3 and it didn't work. After screwing with it for a while I backed off down to V2 and it still wasn't working, so I did what every responsible network administrator should do. I panicked. That led my brain to completely shut down any logic functions whatsoever. I ripped out V2 and placed V1 communities in place. Still nothing. I brought in some MIB walkers. It wouldn't access it. I ripped out the V1 and put "public" and "private" back in. Nothing. I finally, after 24 wasted hours, gave up and called Enterasys tech support. He couldn't figure it out either until he stumbled on the dumbest reason (IMHO) for a line of code to stop working. See if you can figure it out
