SNMP Version 3 Commands
SNMP version 3 (SNMPv3) adds new commands to the CLI for configuring
SNMPv3 functions. You can:
Enable SNMPv3 with the snmpv3 enable command. An initial user entry
■
will be generated with MD5 authentication and DES privacy.
Restrict access to only SNMPv3 agents with the snmpv3 only command.
■
Restrict write access to only SNMPv3 agents with the snmpv3 restricted-
■
access command
Restricting access to only version 3 messages will make the community named
"public" inaccessible to network management applications (such as auto-
discovery, traffic monitoring, SNMP trap generation, and threshold setting).
