If a user chooses to switch to the non-encrypted snmpdv3 agent, after user runs the /usr/sbin/snmpv3_ssw command with the -n option, the acutal snmp agent which is running on the machine "/usr/sbin/snmpdv3ne". The symbolic links on the machine will be changed to:
-e | Switch to the encrypted version of snmpdv3 agent. |
-n | Switch to the non-encrypted version of snmpdv3 agent. |
-1 | Switch to the snmpdv1 agent. |
/usr/sbin/snmp3_ssw -e
