Section III: SNMPv3 Protocol 381
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 Configuring the SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c
Protocols on page 86.
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:
❑ SNMPv3 View Table—See Creating an SNMPv3 View Table Entry
on page 315.
❑ SNMPv3 Access Table—See Creating an SNMPv3 Access Table
Entry on page 324.
❑ SNMPv3 SecurityToGroup Table—See Creating an SNMPv3
SecurityToGroup Table Entry on page 340.
❑ SNMPv3 Notify Table—See Configuring the SNMPv3 Notify Table
on page 348.
❑ SNMPv3 Target Address Table—See Creating an SNMPv3 Target
Address Table Entry on page 356.
❑ SNMPv3 Target Parameters Table—See Creating an SNMPv3
Target Parameters Table Entry on page 369.
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.
