◆
Local users (i.e., the command does not specify a remote engine
identifier) must be configured to authorize management access for
SNMPv3 clients, or to identify the source of SNMPv3 trap messages
sent from the local switch.
◆
Remote users (i.e., the command specifies a remote engine identifier)
must be configured to identify the source of SNMPv3 inform messages
sent from the local switch.
◆
The SNMP engine ID is used to compute the authentication/privacy
digests from the password. You should therefore configure the engine
ID with the
command before using this
configuration command.
◆
Before you configure a remote user, use the
command to specify the engine ID for the remote device where the
user resides. Then use the snmp-server user command to specify the
user and the IP address for the remote device where the user resides.
The remote agent’s SNMP engine ID is used to compute authentication/
privacy digests from the user’s password. If the remote engine ID is not
first configured, the snmp-server user command specifying a remote
user will fail.
◆
SNMP passwords are localized using the engine ID of the authoritative
agent. For informs, the authoritative SNMP agent is the remote agent.
You therefore need to configure the remote agent’s SNMP engine ID
before you can send proxy requests or informs to it.
