Configuring for Network Management Applications
Using SNMP Tools To Manage the Switch
1. Configure users in the User Table with the
snmpv3 user
command. To view
the list of configured users, enter the show snmpv3 user command (see
“Adding Users” on page 13-8).
2. Assign users to Security Groups based on their security model with the
snmpv3 group command (see “Assigning Users to Groups” on page 13-10).

security group.

name to the list of known users with the snmpv3 user command.
