The following items are displayed on this page:
◆ User Name — The SNMPv3 user name. (32 characters maximum)
◆ Group — The SNMPv3 group name.
◆ Auth Type — The authentication type used for the SNMP user; either MD5 or
none. When MD5 is selected, enter a password in the corresponding
Passphrase field.
◆ Auth Passphrase — The authentication password or key associated with the
authentication and privacy settings. A minimum of eight plain text characters is
required.
◆ Priv Type — The data encryption type used for the SNMP user; either DES or
none. When DES is selected, enter a key in the corresponding Passphrase field.
◆ Priv Passphrase — The password or key associated with the authentication
and privacy settings. A minimum of eight plain text characters is required.
◆ Action — Click the Add button to add a new user to the list. Click the edit
button to change details of an existing user. Click the Del button to remove a
user from the list.
Note: Users must be assigned to groups that have the same security levels. For
example, a user who has “Auth Type” and “Priv Type” configured to MD5 and DES
respectively (that it, uses both authentication and data encryption) must be
assigned to the RWPriv group. If this same user were instead assigned to the read-
only (RO) group, the user would not be able to access the database.
SNMPv3 Targets An SNMP v3 notification Target ID is specified by the SNMP v3 user, IP address, and
UDP port. A user-defined filter can also be assigned to specific targets to limit the
notifications received to specific MIB objects. (Note that the filter must first be
configured. See “SNMPv3 Notification Filters” on page 58.)
To configure a new notification receiver target, define the parameters and select a
filter, if required. Note that the SNMP v3 user name must first be defined (See
“SNMPv3 Users” on page 56.)
