FEATURE REQUEST: SNMP V3 INCREASED OPTIONS FOR ENCRYPTION TYPE AND AUTHENTICATION

Hunter_AHunter_A
in Firebox - Product Enhancements

I would like to kindly request the addition of a feature request to update the encryption algorithms available for SNMPv3 on Watchguard devices, specifically to include modern standards such as SHA256, AES128, AES256, and similar options.

Background:
Currently, on a Firebox running version 12.11.3, the available options for SNMPv3 encryption are limited to the following:

Authentication Protocol:

None
MD5
SHA
Encryption Protocol:

None
DES
These protocols no longer align with current security standards and are widely considered insecure. Additionally, we use Domotz for SNMP communication and the article referenced here https://www.watchguard.com/help/docs/help-center/en-US/Content/Integration-Guides/General/Domotz RMM.html is incorrect. Domotz uses SNMPv3 and we would like to use SNMPv3 for Domotz and Watchguard communication.

Thank you,
