1.12 Configuring Authentication and Encryption Functions
in SNMPv3
This section describes how to meet the higher requirement of the NM Station on the access
security through authentication and encryption mechanisms of SNMPv3.

1.12.1 Establishing the Configuration Task

Before configuring authentication and encryption mechanisms of SNMPv3, familiarize yourself
with the applicable environment, complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the required
data. This can help you complete the configuration task quickly and accurately.
1.12.2 Configuring the SNMP Version
After the SNMP version is disabled on the device, to enable the NM Station to access the device
through SNMPv3, you need to configure SNMPv3 on the device.
1.12.3 Configuring an SNMP User Group
Group information configured on the NMS and the switch must be identical. Otherwise, the
NMS cannot access the device.
1.12.4 Configuring User Information
NMS user information configured on the NMS and the switch must be identical. Otherwise, the
NMS cannot access the device.
1.12.5 Configuring the Authentication Function for the SNMP User Group
After authentication is configured, only NM Station users in the group that passes the
authentication can access the device.
1.12.6 Configuring the Encryption Function for the SNMP User Group
Encryption keys configured on the NM Station and the device must be identical. Otherwise, the
NM Station cannot access the device.
1.12.7 Configuring Authentication and Encryption Functions for the SNMP User Group
NM Station users in a group can be configured with different authentication codes and encryption
keys for accessing the device.
1.12.8 Checking the Configuration
After authentication and encryption mechanisms of SNMPv3 are configured, you can view
configurations of SNMP and ACLs.
1.12.1 Establishing the Configuration Task
