You may notice that when configuring SNMPv3 on a (for example) Cisco IOS device that there is not an explicit AES192C/AES256C in the command, rather it is needed to be defined as AES 192 and/or AES 256.
When configuring the device for NMIS, you will need to explicitly tell it to use AES192C/AES256C using node_admin.pl (example covered previously).
