Configuring the Notification Target User

You must configure a notification target user on the switch for sending SNMPv3 inform notifications to
the SNMP manager.
To configure the notification target user, refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide.
The credentials of the notification target user are used for encrypting the SNMPv3 inform notification
messages to the configured SNMP .
For authenticating and decrypting the received INFORM PDU, the SNMP manager should have the same
Note
user credentials in its local configuration data store of users.

Configuring Event Security

Caution This is an advanced function that should only be used by administrators having experience with
SNMPv3.
SNMP events can be secured against interception or eavesdropping in the same way that SNMP
messages are secured. Fabric Manager or Device Manager allow you to configure the message
processing model, the security model, and the security level for the SNMP events that the switch
generates.
To configure SNMP event security using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 Expand Switches > Events and then select SNMP Traps.
Step 2 Click the Security tab in the Information pane.
You see the security information for SNMP notifications.
Step 3 Set the message protocol model (MPModel), security model, security name, and security level.
Step 4 Click the Apply Changes icon to save and apply your changes.

Viewing the SNMP Events Log
