Section III: SNMPv3 Operations 233
Configuring the SNMPv3 Protocol
This section describes how to configure the SNMPv3 protocol using the
SNMPv3 Tables. To successfully configure this protocol, you must
perform the procedures in the order given. For overview information
about SNMPv3, see the SNMPv3 Overview on page 223.
In order to allow an NMS to access the switch, you need to enable SNMP
access. In addition, to allow the switch to send a trap when it receives a
request message, you need to enable authentication failure traps. See
Enabling or Disabling SNMP Management on page 85.
The following SNMPv3 tables are described in this chapter:
❑ Configuring the SNMPv3 User Table on page 234
❑ Configuring the SNMPv3 View Table on page 244
❑ Configuring the SNMPv3 Access Table on page 253
❑ Configuring the SNMPv3 SecurityToGroup Table on page 268
❑ Configuring the SNMPv3 Notify Table on page 276
❑ Configuring the SNMPv3 Target Address Table on page 283
❑ Configuring the SNMPv3 Target Parameters Table on page 296
❑ Configuring the SNMPv3 Community Table on page 309
The SNMPv3 User, View, Access, and SecurityToGroup tables are
concerned with setting up a user, determining authentication and
privacy, and associating a user to a security group. The SNMPv3 Notify,
Target Address, and Target Parameters tables are concerned with
message notification. You use the SNMPv3 Community Table to
configure SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 communities.
Due to the complexity of the SNMPv3 configuration, Allied Telesyn
recommends that you configure the SNMPv3 protocol with the
procedures listed above, in the order they are listed. However, it is
possible to configure the SNMPv3 protocol using the above procedures
in any order.
Note
New entries to the SNMPv3 tables are added alphabetically.
