Enabling SNMPv3
This section shows you how to enable SNMPv3 on your system, how to add users, and how to add users to authorized trap receivers.
To enable SNMPv3 by adding a user and passwords:
-
In Superuser mode, type configure terminal and press Enter.
ACMEPACKET# configure terminal
-
Type system and press Enter to access the system-level configuration elements.
ACMEPACKET(configure)# system
-
Type snmp-user-entry and press Enter. The system prompt changes to let you know that you can begin configuring individual parameters.
ACMEPACKET(system)# snmp-user-entry ACMEPACKET(snmp-user-entry)#
From this point, you can configure the SNMP user entry parameters. To view all SNMP user entry parameters, enter a ? at the system prompt.
- user-name—Enter the user name of a person who is authorized to receive secure traps. Valid values are alpha-numeric characters. Default is blank.
- auth-password—Enter the authentication password associated with the user-name value. The Net-Net ESD uses this password to authenticate the user before receiving secure traps. Valid values are alpha-numeric characters. Default is blank.
-
priv-password—Enter the privacy password associated with the user-name value. The Net-Net ESD uses this password to keep the session private for the user that is receiving the secure traps. Valid values are alpha-numeric characters. Default is blank.
The following is an example of an SNMP user entry configuration. Parameters not described in this section are omitted below.
