Section III: SNMPv3 385
Configuring the SNMPv3 Protocol
This section describes how to configure the SNMPv3 protocol using the
SNMPv3 Tables. To successfully configure this protocol, you must perform
the procedures in the order given. For overview information about
SNMPv3, see the “SNMPv3 Overview” on page 376.
In order to allow an NMS to access the switch, you need to enable SNMP
access. In addition, to allow the switch to send a trap when it receives a
request message, you need to enable authentication failure traps. See
“Enabling or Disabling SNMP Management” on page 93.
The following SNMPv3 tables are described in this chapter:
ˆ “Configuring the SNMPv3 User Table” on page 386
ˆ “Configuring the SNMPv3 View Table” on page 396
ˆ “Configuring the SNMPv3 Access Table” on page 405
ˆ “Configuring the SNMPv3 SecurityToGroup Table” on page 421
ˆ “Configuring the SNMPv3 Notify Table” on page 429
ˆ “Configuring the SNMPv3 Target Address Table” on page 436
ˆ “Configuring the SNMPv3 Target Parameters Table” on page 449
ˆ “Configuring the SNMPv3 Community Table” on page 462
The SNMPv3 User, View, Access, and SecurityToGroup tables are
concerned with setting up a user, determining authentication and privacy,
and associating a user to a security group. The SNMPv3 Notify, Target
Address, and Target Parameters tables are concerned with message
notification. You use the SNMPv3 Community Table to configure SNMPv1
and SNMPv2 communities.
Due to the complexity of the SNMPv3 configuration, Allied Telesyn
recommends that you configure the SNMPv3 protocol with the procedures
listed above, in the order they are listed. However, it is possible to
configure the SNMPv3 protocol using the above procedures in any order.
Note
New entries to the SNMPv3 tables are added alphabetically.
