Chapter 21: SNMPv3
462 Section III: SNMPv3
Configuring the SNMPv3 Community Table
This section contains a description of the SNMPv3 Community Table and
how to create, delete, and modify table entries. The SNMPv3 Community
Table allows you to create SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c Communities using the
SNMPv3 Tables.
Allied Telesyn does not recommend that you use the menu described in
this section to configure SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c communities. Instead,
use the procedures described in Chapter 5: “SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c
Configuration” on page 89.
However, if you want to configure SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c with the
SNMPv3 Tables you need to start your configuration with the SNMPv3
Community Table and then create entries in the following tables:
ˆ SNMPv3 View Table—See “Creating an SNMPv3 View Table Entry” on
page 396.
ˆ SNMPv3 Access Table—See “Creating an SNMPv3 Access Table
Entry” on page 405.
ˆ SNMPv3 SecurityToGroup Table—See “Creating an SNMPv3
SecurityToGroup Table Entry” on page 421.
ˆ SNMPv3 Notify Table—See “Configuring the SNMPv3 Notify Table” on
page 429.
ˆ SNMPv3 Target Address Table—See “Creating an SNMPv3 Target
Address Table Entry” on page 437.
ˆ SNMPv3 Target Parameters Table—See “Creating an SNMPv3 Target
Parameters Table Entry” on page 450.
It is important to note that you do not create an entry in the SNMPv3 User
Table when you are configuring SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c with the SNMPv3
Tables. When you configure the SNMPv3 protocol, the various tables are
linked with the User Name parameter and its related information. With the
SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c configuration, the Security Name parameter and
its related information (configured in the SNMPv3 Community Table
Menu) links an SNMPv3 Community Table entry to the other SNMPv3
Table entries.
Note
In the SNMPv3 Community Table entry, the Security Name
parameter is not related to the User Name parameter.
