SNMP Version 3

Default Configuration

SNMP version 3 (SNMPv3) is an enhanced version of the Simple Network
Management Protocol, approved by the Internet Engineering Steering Group in
March, 2002. SNMPv3 contains additional security and authentication features that
provide data origin authentication, data integrity checks, timeliness indicators and
encryption to protect against threats such as masquerade, modification of
information, message stream modification and disclosure.
SNMPv3 allows clients to query the MIBs securely.
SNMPv3 configuration is managed using the following command path:
NE2552E(config)# snmp-server ?
For more information on SNMP MIBs and the commands used to configure SNMP
on the switch, see the Lenovo ENOS 8.4 Command Reference.
Lenovo ENOS has SNMPv3 disabled by default. If a user‐created SNMPv3 user is
found on the system, SNMPv3 is enabled for backwards compatibility.
Up to 17 SNMP users can be configured on the switch. To modify an SNMP user,
enter the following commands:
NE2552E(config)# snmp-server user <1‐17> name <1‐32 characters>
Users can be configured to use the authentication/privacy options. The NE2552E
support two authentication algorithms: MD5 and SHA, as specified in the
following command:
NE2552E(config)# snmp-server user <1‐17> authentication-protocol {md5|sha
authentication-password
‐or‐
NE2552E(config)# snmp-server user <1‐17> authentication-protocol none
