Ensure an SNMP v2c User

▼	Ensure an SNMP v2c User

A v2c user is required only if one of the following conditions is true:

•	You intend to use v2c for STA communication

See Appendix A, “Configuring SNMP v2c Mode” for information on configuring the v2c protocol. SNMP v3 is the recommended protocol for STA communication. For more information, see “SNMP Configuration for STA”.

•	You have an SL500 library with firmware below version FRS 1482

•	You have an SL3000 library with firmware below version FRS 4.0

If your firmware is below one of the above versions, the initial handshake between the library and the STA server is established through the v2c user.

Note – See the “Library Software Requirements” section within the STA Planning and Installation Guide for the minimum library firmware required by STA.

Note – There must be one and only one v2c user on the library. If one already exists, you should not create a second one.

Note – You should not remove an existing v2c “public” user without consulting Oracle Service. In some cases, a v2c “public” user is required for communications between the library and Oracle Service Delivery Platform (SDP).

For SL500 libraries, you can choose to perform this procedure with either the CLI or the SL Console. For SL3000 and SL8500 libraries, you must use the CLI. For SL150 libraries, you use the browser-based user interface.

▼	With the CLI (All libraries except SL150)

1.	Use the following command to determine whether a v2c user already exists:

snmp listUsers

•	If a v2c user is already defined, as in the following example, proceed to “Create an SNMP v3 User”.

Note – An existing v2c user is commonly set to the “public” community, but depending on your existing configuration, may be defined in another community name.

•	If there is no v2c user, as in the following example, go to Step 2, below.

2.	Use the following command to add the SNMP v2c user:

snmp addUser version version community community_name

Where:

•	`version` is always `v2c`

•	`community_name` can be `public`, or another name of your choice.

3.	List the SNMP users again to verify that the v2c user has been added correctly.

4.	Proceed to “Create an SNMP v3 User”.

▼	With the SL Console (SL500 only)

1.	To determine whether a v2c user already exists, select System Detail > Library > SNMP > Add Users.

•	If a v2c user is already defined, as in the following example, proceed to “Create an SNMP v3 User”.

Note – An existing v2c user is commonly set to the “public” community, but depending on your existing configuration, may be defined in another community name.

•	If there is no v2c user, as in the following example, proceed to Step 2 of this procedure.

2.	To add the SNMP v2c user, complete the Add Users tab as follows:

•	Version – Select v2c from the menu.

•	Community – Can be `public`, or another name of your choice.

3.	Click Apply.

The user is added and the screen is updated.

4.	Proceed to “Create an SNMP v3 User”.

▼	With the SL150 User Interface

By default, the SL150 ships without a v2c user defined. If you plan to use v2c for STA communications, create a v2c user as follows.

1.	Select Settings from the navigation bar on the left side of the interface.

2.	Select the SNMP tab.

3.	Under the SNMP Users section, select Add SNMP User.

4.	In the Add SNMP User screen, complete the information as follows:

•	Version – Select v2c

•	Community Name – Can be `public`, or another name of your choice.

Click OK.
