Alteon OS Application Guide
Chapter 1: Accessing the Switch
3742C4911, January 2007
For more information on SNMP MIBs and the commands used to configure SNMP on the
switch, see the Alteon OS Command Reference.
Default configuration
Alteon OS has two SNMP v3 users by default. Both of the following users have access to all
the MIBs supported by the switch:
1) username 1: adminmd5/password adminmd5. Authentication used is MD5.
2) username 2: adminsha/password adminsha. Authentication used is SHA.
To configure an SNMP user name, enter the following command from the CLI:
User Configuration:
Users can be configured to use the authentication/privacy options. The GbESM support two
authentication algorithms: MD5 and SHA, as specified in the following command:
/c/sys/ssnmp/snmpv3/usm <x>/auth md5|sha
1. To configure a user with name 'admin,' authentication type MD5, and authentication
password of 'admin,' privacy option DES with privacy password of 'admin,' use the fol-
lowing CLI commands.
2. Configure a user access group, along with the views the group may access. Use the access
table to configure the group’s access level.
Because the read view (rview), write view (wview), and notify view (nview) are all set to
“iso,” the user type has access to all private and public MIBs.
