Configure SNMP Settings

SNMPv3 Users or SNMPv1/v2c Trap and Access settings must be made before SNMP access or
notifications can occur. The Liebert IntelliSlot Unity card permits up to 20 SNMPv3 Users, up to 20
SNMPv1 Trap targets, and up to 20 SNMPv1/v2c Access addresses.
The required changes vary according to the type of SNMP protocol used:
• SNMPv1 must have trap settings.
• SNMPv2c must have Access settings.
• SMPv3 users must have settings configured and the method for generating the Engine ID may be
selected.
• the access settings for SNMPv1/v2c are separate from SNMPv1 trap settings.

Select SNMPv3 Engine ID Format

By default, the Engine ID is automatically generated using the MAC address. Optionally, you can select a
text-based ID instead.
1. Select Communications tab > Protocols > SNMP.
2. Click Edit and enter a User name and password if required.
3. Edit the settings:
Refer to 5.5.3, Protocols—SNMP Folder, page 60, for descriptions of the settings and options.
• In SNMPv3 Engine ID Format Type, select MAC Address or Text.
• If you selected Text, type the text on which the generated engine ID will be based.
• Click Save to confirm the changes, or click on Cancel to discard them.
The new engine ID is not displayed until after rebooting the card in Step 4.
The text-generated engine ID is a hexadecimal representation of ASCII characters similar to that
shown in Figure 3-8.
