SNMPv3 error - Help please!

Hello everyone:
I'm still relatively new to AIX administration and learning every day. I need to configure SNMPv3 in several servers. I tried first on a "test environment" server, no firewalls, and I was successful.
Then I moved on to the "production" servers, which are behind firewall and I can't make SNMPv3 work! I checked the firewall and the ports 161 and 162 are open and traffic is allowed.
The settings are exactly the sme in both environments.
This is an example of what I get in the production servers:

Code:
> clsnmp -h user1 walk system
clsnmp: 1473-402 Error return from SnmpRecvMsg().

When I run the same command in debug mode, I get this error:

Code:
P1: wsnmp_com.c( 128): Call session callback, request 1 (1 app), error 199
P1: clsnmp.c(1283): In HandleSnmpResponse()
P1: clsnmp.c(1291): calling SnmpRecvMsg with SessionHandle 1
P1: wsnmp_com.c(1902): In SnmpRecvMsg for session 1
E3: wsnmp_com.c(1920): Global global_error_code set to 199 (><SNMPAPI_TL_OTHER - Undefined transport layer error.)
E3: wsnmp_com.c(1920): Session 1 local error_code set to 199 (><SNMPAPI_TL_OTHER - Undefined transport layer error.)

Any ideas? I've been trying to figure this out for two days with no success! Smilie

Thank you.
