First published: Thu Oct 07 2021(Updated: )

In LCOS 10.40 to 10.42.0473-RU3 with SNMPv3 enabled on LANCOM devices, changing the password of the root user via the CLI does not change the password of the root user for SNMPv3 access. (However, changing the password of the root user via LANconfig does change the password of the root user for SNMPv3 access.)
