Configuring Snmpv3 Groups - AMX NXA-ENET8-2POE Operation/Reference Manual

SNMPv3 User Configuration parameters
• Engine ID
• User Name
• Security Level
• Authentication
Protocol
• Authentication
Password
• Privacy Protocol
• Privacy Password
Any user assigned through this page is associated with the group assigned to the
USM Security Model on the SNMPv3 Groups Configuration page (page 59), and the
views assigned to that group in the SNMPv3 Access Configuration page (page 61).
To send inform messages to an SNMPv3 user on a remote device, you must first specify the engine identifier
for the SNMP agent on the remote device where the user resides. The remote engine ID is used to compute the
security digest for authenticating and encrypting packets sent to a user on the remote host.
SNMP passwords are localized using the engine ID of the authoritative agent. For informs, the authoritative
SNMP agent is the remote agent. You therefore need to configure the remote agent's SNMP engine ID before
you can send proxy requests or informs to it. (See the Configuring SNMP System and Trap Settings section on
page 55).

5.
Click Save.

Configuring SNMPV3 Groups

Use the SNMPv3 Group Configuration page to configure SNMPv3 groups. An SNMPv3 group defines the
access policy for assigned users, restricting them to specific read and write views as defined on the SNMPv3
Access Configuration page (page 61). You can use the pre-defined default groups, or create a new group and
the views authorized for that group.

NXA-ENET8-2POE Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2 PoE Switch
The engine identifier for the SNMP agent on the remote device where the user
resides. (Range: 10-64 hex digits, excluding a string of all 0's or all F's)
The name of user connecting to the SNMP agent. (Range: 1-32 characters, ASCII
characters 33-126 only)
The security level assigned to the user:
NoAuth, NoPriv - There is no authentication or encryption used in SNMP
communications. (This is the default for SNMPv3.)
Auth, NoPriv - SNMP communications use authentication, but the data is not
encrypted.
Auth, Priv - SNMP communications use both authentication and encryption.
The method used for user authentication. (Options: None, MD5, SHA; Default:
MD5)
A plain text string identifying the authentication pass phrase. (Range: 1-32 charac-
ters for MD5, 8-40 characters for SHA)
The encryption algorithm use for data privacy; only 56-bit DES is currently avail-
able. (Options: None, DES; Default: DES)
A string identifying the privacy pass phrase. (Range: 8-40 characters, ASCII char-
acters 33-126 only)
