Again, configuration of SNMP v3 is performed separately, as described in the next section.
Configuring SNMP v3 for Security Manager Device
You cannot configure SNMP v3 directly in Security Manager; you must use CLI commands or set up a
FlexConfig. The steps are:
1. Configure an SNMP server group.
snmp-server group group-name v3 [auth | noauth | priv]
The auth keyword enables packet authentication. The noauth keyword indicates no packet
authentication or encryption is being used. The priv keyword enables packet encryption and
authentication. There are no default values for the auth or priv keywords.
2. Define a new SNMP user.
snmp-server user username group-name{v3 [encrypted]
[auth {md5 | sha]} auth-password
[priv [des | 3des | aes] [128 | 192 | 256] priv-password]
The v3 keyword specifies that the SNMP Version 3 security model is used, and enables the use of
the encrypted, priv, and auth keywords. The encrypted keyword indicates the password is in
encrypted format. Encrypted passwords must be in hexadecimal format.
The auth keyword specifies which authentication level (md5 or sha) is used.
The priv keyword specifies the encryption level. There are no default values for the auth or priv
keywords.
For the encryption algorithm, you can specify either des, 3des, or aes. You can also specify which
version of the AES encryption algorithm to use: 128, 192, or 256. The auth-password specifies the
authentication user password. The priv-password specifies the encryption user password.
3. Specify the recipient of SNMP notifications.
snmp-server host interface {hostname | ip_address} [version 3 username]
Indicates the interface from which traps are sent. Identifies the name and IP address of the NMS or
SNMP manager that can connect to the device.

Alerts: Viewing
All alerts generated for monitored devices are displayed as a table in an alternate screen of the HPM
window. The Alerts table is updated automatically as devices are polled for status information. You can
also click the Refresh button, above the table on the right side, to update the table.
These alerts are based on the threshold values and state-change rules you have configured. See Alerts:
Configuring, page 68-31 for more information.
