Configuring for Network Management Applications
Using SNMP Tools To Manage the Switch
SNMP Version 3 Users
The second step to using SNMPv3 on the switch is to configure the users that
you assign to different groups. To establish users on the switch:
a. Add the users to the User table. This is done with the snmpv3 user
command. To view the users in the list you use the show snmpv3 user
command.
b. Assign users to Security Groups based on their security model.
Caution When stacking is enabled, SNMPv3 provides security only between an
SNMPv3 management station and the stack manager. Communications
between the stack commander and stack members is not secure.
Syntax: [no] snmpv3 user user_name [auth <md5 | sha><auth_pass>] [priv
priv_pass]
Add or Deletes an user entry for snmpv3. Authorization
and Privacy are optional, but to use privacy you must
use authorization. When deleting a user only the
user_name is required
[auth <md5 | sha> <auth_pass>]
With authorization you can select either md5
authentication or sha authentication. The auth_pass
must be 6-32 characters in length and must be included
when authentication is included. (Default: None)
[priv priv_pass]
With privacy the switch only supports DES (56-bit)
encryption. The privacy password priv_pass must be
6-32 characters in length and must be included when
priv is included. (Default: None)
[no] snmpv3 group group_name user user_name sec-model <ver1| ver2c
| ver3>
This command assigns or removes a user to a security
group for access right to the with. To delete a entry all
fields must be used.
group group_name
This is the group privileges that will be assigned to the
user. For more details see “Group Access Levels” on
page 12-11.
