DESCRIPTION
Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch's run-time memory. The Switch loses these
changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation panel
to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.
Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
DESCRIPTION
Note: Use the username and password of the login accounts you specify in this screen to
create accounts on the SNMP v3 manager.
Specify the username of a login account on the Switch.
Select whether you want to implement authentication and/or encryption for SNMP
communication from this user. Choose:
• noauth -to use the username as the password string to send to the SNMP manager.
This is equivalent to the Get, Set and Trap Community in SNMP v2c. This is the lowest
security level.
• auth - to implement an authentication algorithm for SNMP messages sent by this user.
• priv - to implement authentication and encryption for SNMP messages sent by this
user. This is the highest security level.
Note: The settings on the SNMP manager must be set at the same security level or higher
than the security level settings on the Switch.
