Configuring for Network Management Applications

Using SNMP Tools To Manage the Switch

Syntax: [no] snmpv3 targetaddress < ipv4-addr ipv6-addr> < name > —Continued—

[timeout < value >]

(Optional) Time (in millisecond increments) allowed to receive a response from the target before notification packets are retransmitted. Range: 0-2147483647.

Default: 1500 (15 seconds).

[max-msg-size<size>]

(Optional) Maximum number of bytes supported in a notification message to the specified target. Default:

1472

6.Create a configuration record for the target address with the snmpv3 params command.

Syntax [no] snmpv3 params <params_name> user <user_name>

Applies the configuration parameters and IP address of an SNMPv3 management station (from the params <params_name> value configured with the snmpv3 targetaddress command in Step 5) to a specified SNMPv3 user (from the user <user_name> value configured with the snmpv3 user command in Step 2).

If you enter the snmpv3 params user command, you must also configure a security model (sec-model) and message processing algorithm (msg-processing).

< sec-model < ver1 ver2c ver3 >

Configures the security model used for SNMPv3 notification messages sent to the management station configured with the snmpv3 targetaddress command in Step 5.

If you configure the security model as ver3, you must also configure the message processing value as ver3.

< msg-processing < ver1 ver2c ver3 > [noaut auth priv]

Configures the algorithm used to process messages sent to the SNMPv3 target address.

If you configure the message processing value as ver3 and the security model as ver3, you must also configure a security services level (noauth, auth, or priv).
