Technical Configuration Guide for SNMP

v2.0

December 2006

ERS-8610:5#config snmp-v3 group-access view group_1 "" usm authPriv read org write org

F)Add User 2 to USM table. In this example, we will use a user name of ‘user2’, and a MD5 password of ‘user2abcd.

ERS-8610:5#config snmp-v3 usm create user2 md5 auth user2abcd

G)Add User 2 to USM group. We will add User 2 to the group named ‘group_1’ created above.

1.Add ‘user2’ to group ‘group_1’:

ERS-8610:5#config snmp-v3 group-member create user2 usm group_1

H)Assign Access Level to USM group:

1.Assign access level of ‘authNoPriv’ to usm group ‘group_1’

ERS-8610:5#config snmp-v3 group-access create group_1 "" usm authNoPriv

I)Create a new MIB view to exclude the private MIB for User 2

1.In this example, we will add a new MIB view named ‘private’ to exclude access to the SNMP Private MIB

ERS-8610:5#config snmp-v3 mib-view create private 1.3.6.1.4 type exclude

J)Assign the Read and Write view to the usm group:

1.Assign to usm group ‘group_1’ read view to ‘org and write MIB view to ‘private’:

ERS-8610:5#config snmp-v3 group-access view group_1 "" usm authNoPriv read org write private

8.1Testing SNMPv3 Using Device Manager

Now that you have created two new users, you can test the configuration by using Device Manager. The window shown below displays the parameters entered for user1.
