SNMPv3 Configuration Parameters
Two user roles, snmpadmin and snmpuser are supported. snmpadmin provides read-write access
and snmpuser provides read-only access. Entries are added to USM table corresponding to each
role. Total of three entries of role snmpadmin and three entries of role snmpuser are supported.
Separate default passwords are provided for creation of authKey and privKey for each entry.
Default set of passwords are published and default algorithm (MD5/SHA) is used to create initial
set of auth keys. You can change these passwords using this option. You have the option to select
authentication protocol MD5/SHA or no authentication for each entry.
Select the following combination of protocols:
NoAuth/NoPriv
Auth/NoPriv
Auth/Priv
The length of user name string should be in range of 2 to 32 characters. Note that the default user
names are defined with noAuth and noPriv protocol. The factory default SNMPv3 user names are:
User 1: snmpadmin1
User 2: snmpadmin2
User 3: snmpadmin3
User 4: snmpuser1
User 5: snmpuser2
User 6: snmpuser3
The user configuration is available in both secure and non-secure mode. When user select the
--default option, the user name and passwords are set to default.
In secure mode, the above configuration has to be updated by user on both primary and
nonprimary switches individually and unlike community strings, user name and passwords is not
distributed for other switches in the fabric.
When new passwords are entered for any user entry, new authKey and privKey are generated. You
have to update the new passwords on the client (such as a MIB browser) also. AuthKey and privKey
can also be updated using delta key mechanism provided by SNMPv3 protocol.
You are prompted for password and re-confirmation of password, if any protocol is selected other
than NoAuth/NoPriv. The length of protocol passwords should be in range of 1 to 20 characters.
