Configuring SNMP Access

7

SNMP Version 3 (SNMPv3) adds security and remote configuration capabilities to previous
versions. The SNMPv3 architecture introduces the User-based Security Model (USM) for message
security and the View-based Access Control Model (VACM) for access control. The architecture
supports the concurrent use of different security, access control, and message processing
techniques.

Refer to the v3 screen to review the current SNMP v3 configuration. An Existing User Name can be
selected and edited, enabled or disabled..

NOTE

The SNMP undo feature is not supported in this product.

To review existing SNMP v3 definitions:

1. Select Management Access > SNMP Access from the main menu tree.

2. Select the V3 tab from within the SNMP Access screen.

3. Refer to the fields within the V3 screen for the following information:

User Name

Displays a read-only SNMP v3 username of operator or Admin. An operator
typically has an Access Control of read-only and an Admin typically has an Access
Control of read/write.

Access Control

Displays a read-only (R) access or read/write (RW) access for the v3 user.
Read-only access allows the user (when active) to retrieve information, while
read/write access grants the user modification privileges.

Authentication

Displays the current authorization scheme used by this user for v3 access to the
switch. Click the Edit button to modify the password required to change
authentication keys.
