				Reviewing SNMP Statistics
Table 8-1 SNMP Security Levels
Model	Security Level	Authentication	Encryption	How It Works
v1	NoAuthNoPriv	Community string	None	Uses a community string match for
				authentication.
v2c	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 or SHA	None	Provides authentication based on
				the HMAC-MD5 or HMAC-SHA
				algorithms.
	authPriv	MD5 or SHA	DES	Provides authentication based on
				the HMAC-MD5 or HMAC-SHA
				algorithms. Provides DES 56-bit

encryption in addition to authentication based on the CBC- DES (DES-56) standard.

Using SNMP Contexts to Access Specific MIBs

By default, when operating from the switch CLI, SecureStack C3 devices allow access to all SNMP MIBs or contexts. A context is a collection of MIB objects, often associated with a particular physical or logical device.

If no optional context parameters are configured for v1 and v2 “community” names and v3 “user” groups, these groups are able to access all SNMP MIB objects when in switch mode.

Specifying a context parameter when setting up SNMP user group would permit or restrict the group’s switch management access to the MIB(s) specified by the context (MIB object ID) value.

All SNMP contexts known to the device can be displayed using the show snmp context command as described in “show snmp context” on page 8‐21.

Example

This example permits the “powergroup” to manage all MIBs via SNMPv3:

C3(su)->set snmp access powergroup security-model usm

Configuration Considerations

Commands for configuring SNMP on the SecureStack C3 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.
