Managing the SNMP version 3 configuration
SNMP version 3 is an interoperable, standards-based protocol for network management. SNMP version 3
provides secure access to devices using a combination of packet authentication and encryption over the
network. SNMP version 3 provides the following security features:
• Message integrity—ensures that packets have not been altered
• Authentication—ensures that the packet is coming from a valid source
• Encryption—ensures that packet contents cannot be read by an unauthorized source
To configure SNMP version 3, you must enable SNMP version 3 on the switch and create one or more
SNMP version 3 user accounts.
To enable SNMP version 3, enter the
set setup snmp common
command and set the
SNMPv3Enabled
parameter to
True
:
SN6000 FC Switch #> admin start
SN6000 FC Switch (admin) #> set setup snmp common
