SNMPv3 Message Notification
When you generate an SNMPv3 message from the switch, there are three
basic pieces of information included in the message:
ˆ
The type of message
ˆ
The destination of the message
ˆ
SNMP security information
To configure the type of message, you need to define if you are sending a
Trap or Inform message. Basically, the switch expects a response to an
Inform message and the switch does not expect a response to a Trap
message. These two message types are defined in the SNMPv3 (RFC
2571-6).
To determine the destination of the message, you configure the IP address
of the host. This configuration is similar to the SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c
configuration.
The SNMP security information consists of information about the following:
ˆ
User
ˆ
View of the MIB Tree
ˆ
Security Level
ˆ
Security Model
ˆ
Authentication Level
ˆ
Privacy Protocol
ˆ
Group
To configure the SNMP security information, you associate a user and its
related information—View, Security Level, Security Model, Authentication
Level, Privacy Protocol and Group—with the type of message and the host
IP address.
