Defining SNMP views
NOTE
The ACL specified in a user account overrides the ACL assigned to the group to which the user is
mapped. If no ACL is entered for the user account, then the ACL configured for the group will be used
to filter packets.
The encrypted parameter means that the MD5 or SHA password will be a digest value. MD5 has
16 octets in the digest. SHA has 20. The digest string has to be entered as a hexadecimal string.
In this case, the agent need not generate any explicit digest. If the encrypted parameter is not
used, the user is expected to enter the authentication password string for MD5 or SHA. The agent
will convert the password string to a digest, as described in RFC 2574.
The auth md5 | sha parameter is optional. It defines the type of encryption that the user must
have to be authenticated. Choose between MD5 or SHA encryption. MD5 and SHA are two
authentication protocols used in SNMP version 3.
The <md5-password> and <sha-password> define the password the user must use to be
authenticated. These password must have a minimum of 8 characters. If the encrypted parameter
is used, then the digest has 16 octets for MD5 or 20 octets for SHA.
NOTE
Once a password string is entered, the generated configuration displays the digest (for security
reasons), not the actual password.
The priv [encrypted] parameter is optional after you enter the md5 or sha password. The priv
parameter specifies the encryption type (DES or AES) used to encrypt the privacy password. If the
encrypted keyword is used, do the following:
• If DES is the privacy protocol to be used, enter des followed by a 16-octet DES key in
hexadecimal format for the <des-password-key>. If you include the encrypted keyword, enter a
password string of at least 8 characters.
• If AES is the privacy protocol to be used, enter aes followed by the AES password key. For a
small password key, enter 12 characters. For a big password key, enter 16 characters. If you
include the encrypted keyword, enter a password string containing 32 hexadecimal characters.
Defining SNMP views
SNMP views are named groups of MIB objects that can be associated with user accounts to allow
limited access for viewing and modification of SNMP statistics and system configuration. SNMP
views can also be used with other commands that take SNMP views as an argument. SNMP views
reference MIB objects using object names, numbers, wildcards, or a combination of the three. The
numbers represent the hierarchical location of the object in the MIB tree. You can reference
individual objects in the MIB tree or a subset of objects from the MIB tree.
To configure the number of SNMP views available on the device,enter the following command.
TurboIron(config)#system-max view 15
Syntax: system-max view <number-of-views>
This command specifies the maximum number of SNMPv2 and v3 views that can be configured on
a device. The number of views can be from 10 – 65536. The default is 10 views.
To add an SNMP view, enter one of the following commands.
