Yes.

No, but you should have a look at the function and verify that it does
what you expect it to do.

I doubt, that you have added a v3 user with name "public". So this will
not work. Have a look at the example agents that add SNMPv3
configuration for MD5DES user.

This is also caused by missing or wrong snmpv3 configuration. The text
after "SNMPv3 auth failure: " should tell you what's wrong.
