SNMP C OMMANDS
Controls access to this switch from management stations using the Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP), as well as the error types sent to
trap managers.
SNMP Version 3 also provides security features that cover message
integrity, authentication, and encryption; as well as controlling user access
to specific areas of the MIB tree. To use SNMPv3, first set an SNMP
engine ID (or accept the default), specify read and write access views for
the MIB tree, configure SNMP user groups with the required security
model (i.e., SNMP v1, v2c or v3) and security level (i.e., authentication and
privacy), and then assign SNMP users to these groups, along with their
specific authentication and privacy passwords.
