SNMP Version 3

SNMP version 3 (SNMPv3) is an enhanced version of the Simple Network Management Protocol, approved by the Internet Engineering Steering Group in March, 2002. SNMPv3 contains additional security and authentication features that provide data origin authentication, data integrity checks, timeliness indicators and encryption to protect against threats such as masquerade, modification of information, message stream modification and disclosure.

SNMPv3 allows clients to query the MIBs securely.

SNMPv3 configuration is managed using the following command path menu:

RS G8124(config)# snmp-server ?

For more information on SNMP MIBs and the commands used to configure SNMP on the switch, see the BLADEOS 6.5 Command Reference.

BLADEOS has two SNMPv3 users by default. Both of the following users have access to all the MIBs supported by the switch:

User 1 name is adminmd5 (password adminmd5). Authentication used is MD5.

User 2 name is adminsha (password adminsha). Authentication used is SHA.

Up to 16 SNMP users can be configured on the switch. To modify an SNMP user, enter the following commands:

RS G8124(config)# snmp-server user <1-16> name <1-32 characters>

Users can be configured to use the authentication/privacy options. The G8124 support two authentication algorithms: MD5 and SHA, as specified in the following command:

RS G8124(config)# snmp-server user <1-16>authentication-protocol

{md5sha} authentication-password

-or-

RS G8124(config)# snmp-server user <1-16>authentication-protocol none
