Matrix E1 Series (1G58x-09 and 1H582-xx) Configuration Guide 5-3
5.1.4 Process Overview: SNMP Configuration
Use the following steps as a guide to configuring SNMP on the device:
1. Disabling / enabling and reviewing SNMP statistics ( Section 5.2.1 )
2. Configuring SNMP users, groups and communities ( Section 5.2.2 )
3. Configuring SNMP access rights ( Section 5.2.3 )
4. Configuring SNMP MIB views ( Section 5.2.4 )
5. Configuring SNMP target parameters ( Section 5.2.5 )
Table 5-1 SNMP Security Levels
Model Security Level Authentication Encryption How It Works
v1 NoAuthNoPriv Community
string None Uses a community string
match for authentication.
v2 NoAuthNoPriv Community
string None Uses a community string
match for authentication.
v3 NoAuthNoPriv User name None Uses a user name match for
authentication.
AuthNoPriv MD5 None Provides authentication based
on the HMAC-MD5
algorithm.
authPriv MD5 DES Provides authentication based
on the HMAC-MD5
algorithm. Provides DES
56-bit encryption in addition
to authentication based on the
CBC-DES (DES-56) standard.
NOTE: Commands for configuring SNMP on the Matrix E1 Series device are
independent during the SNMP setup process. For instance, target parameters can be
specified when setting up optional notification filters — even though these parameters
have not yet been created with the set snmp targetparams command. The following
steps are a guideline to configuring SNMP and do not necessarily need to be executed
in this order.
