Configuring for Network Management Applications
Using SNMP Tools To Manage the Switch
SNMP Version 3 Commands
SNMP version 3 (SNMPv3) adds a new command to the CLI for configuring
SNMPv3 functions. To enable SMNPv3 operation on the switch you must:
a. Enable SNMPv3 with the snmpv3 enable command. An initial user
entry will be generated with MD5 authentication and DES privacy.
b. You may restrict access to only SNMPv3 agents with the snmpv3 only
command. A second option is to restrict write access to only SNMPv3
agents with the
snmpv3 restricted-access command
C a u t i o n Restricting access to only version 3 messages will make the community named
“public” inaccessible to network management applications (such as auto-
discovery, traffic monitoring, SNMP trap generation, and threshold setting).
Syntax: [no] snmpv3 enable
Enable and disable the switch for access from SNMPv3
agents. This includes the creation of the initial user record.
[no] snmpv3 only
Enables or disables restrictions to access from only SNMPv3
agents. When enabled, the switch rejects all non-SNMPv3
messages.
[no] snmpv3 restricted-access
Enables or disables restrictions from all non- SNMPv3 agents
to read only access.
