SNMPv3 configuration

SNMP version 3 (SNMPv3) is an extensible SNMP Framework that supplements the SNMPv2 Framework by supporting the following:

a new SNMP message format

security for messages

access control

remote configuration of SNMP parameters

For more details on the SNMPv3 architecture please see RFC2271 to RFC2275.

The following table describes the SNMPv3 Configuration commands.

Table 62 SNMPv3 Configuration commands

Command

Description

snmp-server user <1-16>

Configures a user security model (USM) entry for an authorized user. You can

 

also configure this entry through SNMP. The range is 1-16.

 

Command mode: Global configuration

snmp-server view <1-128>

Configures different MIB views. The range is 1-128.

 

Command mode: Global configuration

snmp-server access <1-32>

Configures access rights. The View-based Access Control Model defines a set

 

of services that an application can use for checking access rights of the user.

 

You need access control when you have to process retrieval or modification

 

request from an SNMP entity. The range is 1-32.

 

Command mode: Global configuration

snmp-server group <1-16>

Configures an SNMP group. A group maps the user name to the access group

 

names and their access rights needed to access SNMP management objects. A

 

group defines the access rights assigned to all names that belong to a particular

 

group. The range is 1-16.

 

Command mode: Global configuration

snmp-server community <1-

16>

Configures a community table entry. The community table contains objects for mapping community strings and version-independent SNMP message parameters. The range is 1-16.

Command mode: Global configuration

snmp-server target-

Configures the destination address and user security levels for outgoing

address <1-16>

notifications. This is also called the transport endpoint. The range is 1-16.

 

Command mode: Global configuration

snmp-server target- parameters <1-16>

Configures SNMP parameters, consisting of message processing model, security model, security level, and security name information. There may be multiple transport endpoints associated with a particular set of SNMP parameters, or a particular transport endpoint may be associated with several sets of SNMP parameters. The range is 1-16.

Command mode: Global configuration

snmp-server notify <1-16>

Configures a notification index. A notification application typically monitors a

 

system for particular events or conditions, and generates Notification-Class

 

messages based on these events or conditions. The range is 1-16.

 

Command mode: Global configuration

snmp-server version

Enables or disables the access to SNMP version 1 and version 2. This

{v1v2v3v3only}

command is enabled by default.

 

Command mode: Global configuration

show snmp-server v3

Displays the current SNMPv3 configuration.

 

Command mode: All
