SNMP version 3 traps

PowerConnect(config)# snmp-server group admin v3 auth read all write all
notify all
Syntax: [no] snmp-server group <groupname>
v1 | v2 | v3
auth | noauth | priv
[access <standard-ACL-id>] [read <viewstring> | write <viewstring> | notify <viewstring>]
The group <groupname> parameter defines the name of the SNMP group to be created.
The v1, v2, or v3 parameter indicates which version of SNMP to use. In most cases, you will use v3,
since groups are automatically created in SNMP versions 1 and 2 from community strings.
The auth | noauth parameter determines whether or not authentication will be required to access
the supported views. If auth is selected, then only authenticated packets are allowed to access the
view specified for the user group. Selecting noauth means that no authentication is required to
access the specified view. Selecting priv means that an authentication password will be required
from the users.
The access <standard-ACL-id> parameter is optional. It allows incoming SNMP packets to be
filtered based on the standard ACL attached to the group.
The read <viewstring> | write <viewstring> parameter is optional. It indicates that users who
belong to this group have either read or write access to the MIB.
The notify view allows administrators to restrict the scope of varbind objects that will be part of the
notification. All of the varbinds need to be in the included view for the notification to be created.
The <viewstring> variable is the name of the view to which the SNMP group members have access.
If no view is specified, then the group has no access to the MIB.
Defining the UDP port for SNMP v3 trapsThe SNMP host command enhancements
allow configuration of notifications in SMIv2 format, with or without encryption, in addition to the
previously supported SMIv1 trap format.
You can define a port that receives the SNMP v3 traps by entering a command such as the
following.
PowerConnect(config)# snmp-server host 192.168.4.11 version v3 auth security-name
port 1 [no] snmp-server host <ip-addr> | <ipv6-addr> version [ v1 | v2c
<community-string> | v3 auth | noauth | priv <security-name>] [port
<trap-UDP-port-number>]
The <ip-addr> parameter specifies the IP address of the host that will receive the trap.
For version, indicate one of the following
For SNMP version 1, enter v1 and the name of the community string (<community-string>). This
string is encrypted within the system.
NOTE
The options "v2c" and "v3" are new in this release. If the configured version is v2c, then the
notification is sent out in SMIv2 format, using the community string, but in cleartext mode. To send
the SMIv2 notification in SNMPv3 packet format, configure v3 with auth or privacy parameters, or
both, by specifying a security name. The actual authorization and privacy values are obtained from
the security name.
For SNMP version 2c, enter v2 and the name of the community string. This string is encrypted
within the system.
