Configuring Snmpv3 Basic Parameters - HP 6125XLG Configuration Manual

Step
8. Configure the SNMP
access right.
9. (Optional.) Configure
the maximum SNMP
packet size (in bytes)
that the SNMP agent
can handle.

Configuring SNMPv3 basic parameters

SNMPv3 users are managed in groups. All SNMPv3 users in a group share the same security model, but
can use different authentication and privacy key settings. To implement a security model for a user and
avoid SNMP communication failures, make sure the security model configuration for the group and the
security key settings for the user are compliant with
Table 12 Basic security setting requirements for different security models

Command
•
(Method 1) Create an SNMP
community:
snmp-agent community { read |
write } community-name [ mib-view
view-name ] [ acl acl-number | acl
ipv6 ipv6-acl-number ] *
•
(Method 2) Create an SNMPv1/v2c
group, and add users to the group:
a. snmp-agent group { v1 | v2c }
group-name [ read-view
view-name ] [ write-view
view-name ] [ notify-view
view-name ] [ acl acl-number |
acl ipv6 ipv6-acl-number ] *
b. snmp-agent usm-user { v1 | v2c }
user-name group-name [ acl
acl-number | acl ipv6
ipv6-acl-number ] *

Remarks
Use either method.
The username configured by using
method 1 is the same as that
configured by using method 2. The
username created by either
method must be the same as the
community name configured on the
NMS.
By default, no SNMP group exists.
If the device starts up with the initial
settings (or empty configuration),
no SNMP community exists by
default.
If the device starts up with the
default configuration file (or
factory defaults), public is used as
the read-only community name and
private is used as the read and
write community name by default.
For more information about the
startup configuration, see
Fundamentals Configuration
Guide.
The default is 1500 bytes.

Remarks
If the authentication key or
the privacy key is not
configured, SNMP
communication will fail.
