SNMPv3 Security
Simple Network Management Protocol Version 3 (SNMPv3) is an interoperable
standards-based protocol for network management. SNMPv3 provides secure
access to devices by a combination of authenticating and encrypting packets over
the network. SNMPv3 security is an additional layer of security offered with the
9.0.7 firmware. The SNMPv3 security is available to a switch that has a secure
connection, and can only be configured on the entry switch. The security features
provided in SNMPv3 are:
 Message integrity—ensures that a packet has not been tampered with
during transit.
 Authentication—determines the message is from a valid source.
 Encryption—scrambles the contents of a packet to prevent it from being
seen by an unauthorized source.
The SNMP v3 Manager dialog allows you to add, remove, and edit an SNMPv3
user. To display the SNMP v3 Manager dialog (
Figure 2-23 ) open the Switch
menu, select SNMP, and select SNMP v3 Manager. The SNMP v3 Security
option allows you to turn SNMPv3 security on or off.
Click the Add button to open the SNMPv3 User Editor dialog ( Figure 2-24 ), and
add an SNMPv3 user. After SNMPv3 users are configured and saved, they are
displayed in the SNMPv3 Users list window in the SNMP v3 Manager dialog.
Select a user from the list, and that user’s settings are displayed on the right in the
Selected SNMPv3 User area. The Remove and Edit buttons become active when
you select a user from the SNMP v3 Users list. Click the Remove button to delete
the selected user. Click the Edit button to open the SNMP v3 User Editor dialog in
which to change the selected user's configuration.
