Configuring for Network Management Applications
Using SNMP Tools To Manage the Switch
1. Configure users in the User Table with the snmpv3 user command. To view
the list of configured users, enter the show snmpv3 user command (see
“Adding Users” on page 13-8).
2. Assign users to Security Groups based on their security model with the
snmpv3 group command (see “Assigning Users to Groups” on page 13-10).
Caution If you add an SNMPv3 user without authentication and/or privacy to a group
that requires either feature, the user will not be able to access the switch.
Ensure that you add a user with the appropriate security level to an existing
security group.
Adding Users. To configure an SNMPv3 user, you must first add the user
name to the list of known users with the snmpv3 user command.
