SNMP Configuration Summary
Process Overview: SNMP Configuration
Matrix E1 Series (1G58x-09 and 1H582-xx) Configuration Guide 5-3
5.1.4 Process Overview: SNMP Configuration
Use the following steps as a guide to configuring SNMP on the device:
1. Disabling / enabling and reviewing SNMP statistics (Section 5.2.1)
2. Configuring SNMP users, groups and communities (Section 5.2.2)
3. Configuring SNMP access rights (Section 5.2.3)
4. Configuring SNMP MIB views (Section 5.2.4)
5. Configuring SNMP target parameters (Section 5.2.5)
Table 5-1 SNMP Security Levels
Model Security Level Authentication Encryption How It Works
v1 NoAuthNoPriv Community
string None Uses a community string
match for authentication.
v2 NoAuthNoPriv Community
string None Uses a community string
match for authentication.
v3 NoAuthNoPriv User name None Uses a user name match for
authentication.
AuthNoPriv MD5 None Provides authentication based
on the HMAC-MD5
algorithm.
authPriv MD5 DES Provides authentication based
on the HMAC-MD5
algorithm. Provides DES
56-bit encryption in addition
to authentication based on the
CBC-DES (DES-56) standard.
NOTE: Commands for configuring SNMP on the Matrix E1 Series device are
independent during the SNMP setup process. For instance, target parameters can be
specified when setting up optional notification filters — even though these parameters
have not yet been created with the set snmp targetparams command. The following
steps are a guideline to configuring SNMP and do not necessarily need to be executed
in this order.
