Showing Local SNMPv3 Users

Configuring Remote SNMPv3 Users

Use the Administration > SNMP (Configure User - Add SNMPv3 Remote User) page to identify the
source of SNMPv3 inform messages sent from the local switch. Each SNMPv3 user is defined by a
unique name. Users must be configured with a specific security level and assigned to a group. The
SNMPv3 group restricts users to a specific read, write, and notify view.

CLI References

“snmp-server user”

Command Usage

To grant management access to an SNMPv3 user on a remote device, you must first specify
the engine identifier for the SNMP agent on the remote device where the user resides. The
remote engine ID is used to compute the security digest for authentication and encryption of
packets passed between the switch and the remote user. (See

“Specifying Trap Managers”

on

page 944 and

“Specifying a Remote Engine ID”

on page 933.)

Parameters

These parameters are displayed:

User Name – The name of user connecting to the SNMP agent.
(Range: 1-32 characters)

Group Name – The name of the SNMP group to which the user is assigned. (Range: 1-32
characters)

Remote IP – The Internet address of the remote device where the user resides.

Security Model – The user security model; SNMP v1, v2c or v3. (Default: v3)

Security Level – The following security levels are only used for the groups assigned to the
SNMP security model:

noAuthNoPriv – There is no authentication or encryption used in SNMP communications.
(This is the default security level.)

AuthNoPriv – SNMP communications use authentication, but the data is not encrypted.

AuthPriv – SNMP communications use both authentication and encryption.

Authentication Protocol – The method used for user authentication. (Options: MD5, SHA;
Default: MD5)

Authentication Password – A minimum of eight plain text characters is required.

Privacy Protocol – The encryption algorithm use for data privacy:

AES128 - Uses SNMPv3 with privacy with AES128 encryption.
