Configuring for Network Management Applications

Using SNMP Tools To Manage the Switch

SNMPv3 User Commands

Syntax: [no] snmpv3 user <user_name>

Adds or deletes a user entry for SNMPv3. Authorization and privacy are optional, but to use privacy, you must use authorization. When you delete a user, only the <user_name> is required.

[auth <md5 sha> <auth_pass>]

With authorization, you can set either MD5 or SHA authentication. The authentication password <auth_pass> must be 6-32 characters in length and is mandatory when you configure authentication. Default: None

[priv <des aes> <priv_pass>]

With privacy, the switch supports DES (56-bit) and AES (128-bit) encryption. The privacy password <priv_pass> must be 6-32 characters in length and is mandatory when you configure privacy.

Default: DES

Note: Only AES 128-bit and DES 56-bit encryption are supported as privacy protocols. Other non-standard encryption algorithms, such as AES-172, AES-256, and 3-DES are not supported.

Listing Users. To display the management stations configured to access the switch with SNMPv3 and view the authentication and privacy protocols that each station uses, enter the show snmpv3 user command.

Syntax: show snmpv3 user

This example displays information about the management stations configured on VLAN 1 to access the switch.

ProCurve# configure terminal

ProCurve(config)# vlan 1

ProCurve(vlan-1)# show snmpv3 user
