4. Configuring the NMS
The S5100-SI/EI series Ethernet switches support H3C's QuidView NMS. SNMPv3 adopts user
name and password authentication. When you use H3C's QuidView NMS, you need to set user
names and choose the security level in [Quidview Authentication Parameter]. For each security
level, you need to set authorization mode, authorization password, encryption mode, encryption
password, and so on. In addition, you need to set timeout time and maximum retry times.
You can query and configure an Ethernet switch through the NMS. For more information, refer to
the corresponding manuals of H3C's NMS products.
Note:
Authentication-related configuration on an NMS must be consistent with that of the devices for the
NMS to manage the devices successfully.
