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.
C a u t i o n
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
13-6
Enable and disable the switch for access from SNMPv3
agents. This includes the creation of the initial user record.
