Configuring for Network Management Applications
Using SNMP Tools To Manage the Switch
SNMP Version 3 Commands
SNMP version 3 (SNMPv3) adds some new commands to the CLI for
configuring SNMPv3 functions. To enable SMNPv3 operation on the switch,
use the snmpv3 enable command. An initial user entry will be generated with
MD5 authentication and DES privacy.
You may (optionally) restrict access to only SNMPv3 agents by using the
snmpv3 only command. To restrict write-access to only SNMPv3 agents, use
the snmpv3 restricted-access command.
Caution Restricting access to only version 3 messages will make the community named
“public” inaccessible to network management applications (such as auto-
discovery, traffic monitoring, SNMP trap generation, and threshold setting)
from operating in the switch.
Syntax: [no] snmpv3 enable
Enable and disable the switch for access from SNMPv3
agents. This includes the creation of the initial user record.
[no] snmpv3 only
Enables or disables restrictions to access from only SNMPv3
agents. When enabled, the switch will reject all non-SNMPv3
messages.
[no] snmpv3 restricted-access
Enables or disables restrictions from all non-SNMPv3 agents
to read only access.
show snmpv3 enable
Displays the operating status of SNMPv3.
show snmpv3 only
Displays status of message reception of non-SNMPv3
messages.
show snmpv3 restricted-access
Displays status of write messages of non-SNMPv3 messages.
