Viewing and Changing Management Settings 187

You can specify from 0 to 86400 seconds (one day). The default is 3600 (one hour). If you specify 0, the idle timeout is disabled. The timeout interval is in 30-second increments. For example, the interval can be 0, or 30 seconds, or 60 seconds, or 90 seconds, and so on. If you enter an interval that is not divisible by 30, the switch rounds up to the next 30-second increment. For example, if you enter 31, the switch rounds up to 60.

This option applies to all types of CLI management sessions: console, Telnet, and SSH. The timeout change applies to new sessions only, not to existing sessions.

4To configure SNMP settings, go to “Configuring SNMP”. Otherwise, click Save.

Configuring SNMP On each switch in the network plan, you must enable notifications and configure 3WXM Services as a notification target (trap receiver). 3WXM Services does not start listening for SNMP notifications from a WX switch until you add 3WXM Services as an SNMP notification target to the switch. (For simple configuration of 3WXM Services as an SNMP notification target, see “Setting Up a Switch” on page 167.)

1Click the checkbox next to SNMP to enable it, if you have not already done so. By default, SNMP is disabled.

2To change the minimum level of security MSS requires for SNMP, select one of the following from the Security Level drop-down list:

„Unsecured—SNMP message exchanges are not secure. This is the default, and is the only value supported for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c. (This security level is the same as the noAuthNoPriv level described in SNMPv3 RFCs.)

„Authenticated—SNMP message exchanges are authenticated but are not encrypted. (This security level is the same as the authNoPriv level described in SNMPv3 RFCs.)

„Encrypted—SNMP message exchanges are authenticated and encrypted. (This security level is the same as the authPriv level described in SNMPv3 RFCs.)

„AuthRequest-UnsecuredNotify—SNMP message exchanges are authenticated but are not encrypted, and notifications are neither authenticated nor encrypted.

The only security level supported for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c is Unsecured.
