Configuring SNMPv3 Parameters
SNMP version 3 provides secure SNMP access to the device by authenticating and
encrypting packets transmitted over the network.
The SNMPv3 manager application in REALview-EMS provides a user-friendly GUI
interface to configure SNMPv3 parameters. If you intend to use it, you must first
use the device CLI to create users with the required encryption method and
security level, as the application can create users based only on existing users;
the new user has the same encryption method, and the same security level or
lower. The VB-101 default configuration provides four standard user
configurations based on all possible combinations of authentication and privacy
protocols (see
be changed; they are used for creating (cloning) new users only.
Each trap is sent to all targets attached to the group, and therefore it is
recommended to set identical traps masking for all group members.
Follow this procedure to configure SNMPv3:
1. Set SNMP engine ID if necessary.
2. Add users, specifying authentication protocol and privacy protocol.
3. Add access groups, specifying security level, protocol, and views.
4. Connect users to groups.
5. Add notification entries with assigned traps and tags.
6. Configure target parameter sets to be used for targets.
7. Configure targets (SNMPv3 network management stations to which VB-101
should send trap notifications), specifying target parameter sets, notification
tags, and trap synchronization groups if applicable.
To configure SNMPv3 parameters:
1. In the root level, type snmp.
2. Enter all necessary commands according to the tasks listed below.
Note
When you enter password parameters, they should contain at least eight
characters.
