1. If the SNMP agent is using v3: Create an v3 user before creating an SNMP manager in your OKM cluster. The user should use SHA (not MD5) as the authentication protocol and DES as the privacy protocol. Refer to your SNMP agent documentation for more information.
   If the SNMP agent is using v2: For OKM versions prior to 3.3.2/replication versions prior to 16, you do not need to configure an authentication protocol or create an SNMP user. Only the "public" community for SNMPv2 is supported.
