328 Configuring SNMP
Configuring SNMPv3 users
The Nortel SNAS manages SNMPv3 users based on the User-based
Security Model (USM) for SNMP version 3. For more information about
USM, see RFC3414.
To manage SNMPv3 users in the Nortel SNAS configuration, use the
following command:
/cfg/sys/adm/snmp/users <user ID>
where user ID is an integer in the range 1 to 1024 that uniquely identifies
the SNMPv3 user in the Nortel SNAS cluster.
When you first create the user, you must enter the user ID. After you have
created the user, you can use either the ID or the name to access the user
for configuration.
When you first create the user, you are prompted to enter the following
parameters:
• user name—a string that uniquely identifies the USM user in the Nortel
SNAS cluster. The maximum length of the string is 255 characters.
After you have defined a name for the user, you can use either the
user name or the user ID to access the
SNMP User menu.
•
security level—the degree of SNMP USM security. Valid options are:
— none—SNMP access is granted without authentication.
— auth—SNMP user must provide a verified password before SNMP
access is granted. You are later prompted to specify the required
password (auth password). SNMP information is transmitted in
plain text.
—
priv—SNMP user must provide a verified password before
SNMP access is granted, and all SNMP information is encrypted
with the user’s individual key. You are later prompted to specify
the required password (auth password) and encryption key (priv
password).
The default is priv.
• permission—the USM user’s privileges. Valid options are:
