Proxy. I'm not aware of one for SNMP. (i.e. you talk to the proxy as v3 and it talks to the v2 device. in theory, this wouldn't be hard to do.) [ Edit: github.com/etingof/snmpfwd ]

@Ricky Never seen that before, but that’s not really converting anything and it’s adding another point of failure. It would be easier to just change the configs and be done.

Also, it appears net-snmp has supported this since 5.0. 'tho I would bet OP's software doesn't support v3 contexts.

@Ricky Supported for what? Forwarding SNMPv2 for one server to SNMPv3 on another?
