Simple Network Management Protocol
Command Usage
•
To grant management access to an SNMPv3 user on a remote device, you must first specify
the engine identifier for the SNMP agent on the remote device where the user resides. The
remote engine ID is used to compute the security digest for authentication and encryption of
packets passed between the switch and the remote user. (See
“Specifying a Remote Engine ID”
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
•
User Name – The name of user connecting to the SNMP agent.
(Range: 1-32 characters)
•
Group Name – The name of the SNMP group to which the user is assigned. (Range: 1-32
characters)
•
Remote IP – The Internet address of the remote device where the user resides.
•
Security Model – The user security model; SNMP v1, v2c or v3. (Default: v3)
•
Security Level – The following security levels are only used for the groups assigned to the
SNMP security model:
•
noAuthNoPriv – There is no authentication or encryption used in SNMP communications.
(This is the default security level.)
•
AuthNoPriv – SNMP communications use authentication, but the data is not encrypted.
•
AuthPriv – SNMP communications use both authentication and encryption.
•
Authentication Protocol – The method used for user authentication. (Options: MD5, SHA;
Default: MD5)
•
Authentication Password – A minimum of eight plain text characters is required.
•
Privacy Protocol – The encryption algorithm use for data privacy:
•
3DES - Uses SNMPv3 with privacy with 3DES (168-bit) encryption.
•
AES128 - Uses SNMPv3 with privacy with AES128 encryption.
•
AES192 - Uses SNMPv3 with privacy with AES192 encryption.
•
AES256 - Uses SNMPv3 with privacy with AES256 encryption.
•
DES56 - Uses SNMPv3 with privacy with DES56 encryption.
•
Privacy Password – A minimum of eight plain text characters is required.
Interface
To configure a remote SNMPv3 user:
1. Click Administration, SNMP.
2. Select Configure User from the Step list.
3. Select Add SNMPv3 Remote User from the Action list.
4. Enter a name and assign it to a group. Enter the IP address to identify the source of SNMPv3
inform messages sent from the local switch. If the security model is set to SNMPv3 and the
security level is authNoPriv or authPriv, then an authentication protocol and password must be
specified. If the security level is authPriv, a privacy password must also be specified.
5. Click Apply
