You can use the SNMP Users page to define users, associate a security level to each user, and
configure security keys per-user.
Each user is mapped to an SNMPv3 group, either from the predefined or user-defined groups,
and, optionally, is configured for authentication and encryption. For authentication, only the
MD5 type is supported. For encryption, only the DES type is supported. There are no default
SNMPv3 users on the AP, and you can add up to eight users.
To add SNMP users:
STEP 1
Select SNMP > Users in the navigation pane.
STEP 2
Click Add to create a new row in the SNMPv3 Users table.
STEP 3
Check the box in the new row and click Edit.
STEP 4
Configure the parameters:
•
User Name—A name that identifies the SNMPv3 user. User names can contain up to 32
alphanumeric characters.
•
Group—The group that the user is mapped to. The default groups are RW and RO. You
can define additional groups on the SNMP Groups page.
•
Authentication Type—The type of authentication to use on SNMPv3 requests from the
user, which can be one of these options:
-
MD5—Require MD5 authentication on SNMP requests from the user.
-
None—SNMPv3 requests from this user require no authentication.
•
Authentication Pass Phrase—(If you specify MD5 as the Authentication Type) A pass
phrase to enable the SNMP agent to authenticate requests sent by the user. The pass
phrase must be between 8 and 32 characters in length.
•
Encryption Type—The type of privacy to use on SNMP requests from the user, which
can be one of these options:
-
DES—Use DES encryption on SNMPv3 requests from the user.
-
None—SNMPv3 requests from this user require no privacy.
•
Encryption Pass Phrase—(If you specify DES as the privacy type) A pass phrase to use
to encrypt the SNMP requests. The pass phrase must be between 8 and 32 characters in
length.
