Configuring an SNMP V3 User Profile
Configuring an SNMP V3 user profile is a part of user configuration. Any user can connect to the
switch using the SNMPv3 protocol, but for authentication and encryption, additional steps are
needed. Use the following steps to configure an SNMP V3 new user profile.
1. Select System>Configuration>User Accounts from the hierarchical tree on the left side of
the web interface.
2. Using the User pulldown menu, select Create to create a new user.
3. Enter a new user name in the User Name field.
4. Enter a new user password in the Password field and then retype it in the Confirm Password
field.
5. If you do not need authentication, go to Step 9.
6. To enable authentication, use the Authentication Protocol pulldown menu to select either
MD5 or SHA for the authentication protocol.
7. If you do not need encryption, go to Step 9.
8. To enable encryption, use the Encryption Protocol pulldown menu to select DES for the
encryption scheme. Then, enter in the Encryption Key field an encryption code of eight or
more alphanumeric characters.
9. Click Submit.
Note: If SNMPv3 Authentication is to be used for this user, the password must be
eight or more alphanumeric characters.
