Table 129 Management > Access Control > SNMP (continued)

 

LABEL

DESCRIPTION

 

Trap

Enter the Trap Community string, which is the password sent with

 

Community

each trap to the SNMP manager.

 

 

The Trap Community string is only used by SNMP managers using

 

 

SNMP version 2c or lower.

 

 

 

 

Trap

Use this section to configure where to send SNMP traps from the Switch.

 

Destination

 

 

 

 

 

Version

Specify the version of the SNMP trap messages.

 

 

 

 

IP

Enter the IP addresses of up to four managers to send your SNMP traps

 

 

to.

 

 

 

 

Port

Enter the port number upon which the manager listens for SNMP traps.

 

 

 

 

Username

Enter the username to be sent to the SNMP manager along with the

 

 

SNMP v3 trap.

 

 

Note: This username must match an existing account on the Switch

 

 

(configured in Management > Access Control > Logins

 

 

screen).

 

 

 

 

User

Use this section to configure users for authentication with managers

 

Information

using SNMP v3.

 

 

Note: Use the username and password of the login accounts you

 

 

specify in this section to create accounts on the SNMP v3

 

 

manager.

 

 

 

 

Index

This is a read-only number identifying a login account on the Switch.

 

 

 

 

Username

This field displays the username of a login account on the Switch.

 

 

 

 

Security

Select whether you want to implement authentication and/or encryption

 

Level

for SNMP communication from this user. Choose:

 

 

• noauth -to use the username as the password string to send to the

 

 

SNMP manager. This is equivalent to the Get, Set and Trap

 

 

Community in SNMP v2c. This is the lowest security level.

 

 

• auth - to implement an authentication algorithm for SNMP messages

 

 

sent by this user.

 

 

• priv - to implement authentication and encryption for SNMP

 

 

messages sent by this user. This is the highest security level.

 

 

Note: The settings on the SNMP manager must be set at the same

 

 

security level or higher than the security level settings on the

 

 

Switch.

 

 

 

 

Authenticati

Select an authentication algorithm. MD5 (Message Digest 5) and SHA

 

on

(Secure Hash Algorithm) are hash algorithms used to authenticate

 

 

SNMP data. SHA authentication is generally considered stronger than

 

 

MD5, but is slower.
