Configuring for Network Management Applications

Using SNMP Tools To Manage the Switch

An example of how to configure SNMPv3 notification is shown here:

Params _name value in the snmpv3 targetaddress command matches the params _name value in the snmpv3 params command.

The tag _name value in snmpv3 notify command matches the tag _name value in the snmpv3 targetaddress command.

Configuring the security model ver3 requires you to configure message processing ver3 and a security service level.

Figure 13-10. Example of an SNMPv3 Notification ConfigurationManaging Network Security Notifications

By default, a switch is enabled to send the SNMP notifications listed in “Supported Notifications” on page 13-17when a network security event (for example, authentication failure) occurs. However, before security notifications can be sent, you must first configure one or more trap receivers or SNMPv3 management stations as described in:

“Configuring an SNMP Trap Receiver” on page 13-19

“Configuring SNMPv3 Notifications” on page 13-23

You can manage the default configuration of the switch to disable and reenable notifications to be sent for the following types of security events:

ARP protection events

Unable to establish a connection with the RADIUS or TACACS+ authen­ tication server

DHCP snooping events

Link change notification

Invalid password entered in a login attempt through a direct serial, Telnet, or SSH connection

Manager password changes

Port-security (web, MAC, or 802.1X) authentication failure

SNMP authentication failure
