Configuring SNMP v3 users using the ini File
Use the SNMPUsers ini table to add, modify, and delete SNMPv3 users. For a description of
the SNMPUsers table ini file parameters, see
The SNMPUsers ini table is a hidden parameter. Therefore, when you perform a
"Get ini File" operation using the Web interface, the table will not be included in
the generated file
You can enter keys in the form of a text password or in the form of a localized key in hex
format. If using a text password, then it should be at least eight characters in length. Below is
an example of a localized key format:
26:60:d8:7d:0d:4a:d6:8c:02:73:dd:22:96:a2:69:df
The following example configuration creates three SNMPv3 USM users:
[ SNMPUsers ]
FORMAT SNMPUsers_Index = SNMPUsers_Username, SNMPUsers_AuthProtocol,
SNMPUsers_PrivProtocol, SNMPUsers_AuthKey, SNMPUsers_PrivKey,
SNMPUsers_Group;
SNMPUsers 0 = v3user, 0, 0, -, -, 0;
SNMPUsers 1 = v3admin1, 1, 0, myauthkey, -, 1;
SNMPUsers 2 = v3admin2, 2, 1, myauthkey, myprivkey, 1;
[ \SNMPUsers ]
The example above creates the following three v3 users:
The user "v3user" is defined for a security level of noAuthNoPriv(1) and is associated
with ReadGroup1.
The user "v3admin1" is defined for a security level of authNoPriv(2) with authentication
protocol MD5. The authentication text password is "myauthkey" and the user will be
associated with ReadWriteGroup2.
The user "v3admin2" is defined for a security level of authPriv(3) with authentication
protocol SHA-1 and privacy protocol DES. The authentication text password is
"myauthkey", the privacy text password is "myprivkey", and the user will be associated
with ReadWriteGroup3.
Configuring SNMP v3 Users via SNMP
To configure SNMP v3 users, the EM must use the standard snmpUsmMIB and the
snmpVacmMIB.
To add a read-only, noAuthNoPriv SNMPv3 user (v3user):
Clone the row with the same security level. After the clone step, the status of the row is
1
notReady(3).
Activate the row (that is, set the row status to active(1)).
2
Add a row to the vacmSecurityToGroupTable for SecurityName v3user, GroupName
3
ReadGroup1, and SecurityModel usm(3).
