Snmpv3 Configuration Example - HP 5500 EI Series Configuration Manual

SNMPv3 configuration example

Network requirements
As shown in
of the agent (1.1.1.1/24), and the agent automatically sends traps to report events to the NMS.
The NMS and the agent perform authentication when they set up an SNMP session. The authentication
algorithm is MD5 and the authentication key is authkey. The NMS and the agent also encrypt the SNMP
packets between them by using the DES algorithm and the privacy key prikey.

Configuration procedure
1. Configure the agent:
# Configure the IP address of the agent and make sure the agent and the NMS can reach each
other. (Details not shown.)
# Assign the NMS read and write access to the objects under the snmp node (OID
1.3.6.1.2.1.11), and deny its access to any other MIB object.

[Agent] snmp-agent group v3 managev3group read-view test write-view test
# Set the username to managev3user, authentication algorithm to MD5, authentication key to
authkey, encryption algorithm to DES56, and privacy key to prikey.

# Configure contact person and physical location information for the agent.

# Enable traps, specify the NMS at 1.1.1.2 as a trap destination, and set the username to
managev3user for the traps.
[Agent] snmp-agent trap enable
[Agent] snmp-agent target-host trap address udp-domain 1.1.1.2 params securityname

2. Configure the SNMP NMS:
Specify the SNMP version for the NMS as v3.
Create two SNMP users: managev3user and public.
Enable both authentication and privacy functions.
