Configuring for Network Management Applications
Using SNMP Tools To Manage the Switch
SNMP Version 3 Commands
SNMP version 3 (SNMPv3) adds new commands to the CLI for configuring
SNMPv3 functions. You can:
■ Enable SNMPv3 with the snmpv3 enable command. An initial user entry
will be generated with MD5 authentication and DES privacy.
■ Restrict access to only SNMPv3 agents with the snmpv3 only command.
■ Restrict write access to only SNMPv3 agents with the snmpv3 restricted-
access command
Caution 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.
