Creating an SNMPv3 User for the SNMP Server
In the following menu, the login data for an SNMPv3 user can be set up for the computer on which the
management software is operated (SNMP server). The SNMP server authenticates itself with the agent
using this login data.
NOTICE
Failed SNMP logging
If the login data differs between the SNMP module (set up in the
User
menu) and the SNMP server, no
SNMP traps are transmitted.
Ensure the login data (username and password) in both settings are identical (see chapter 5.5,
page 50).
To configure the login data for an SNMPv3 user at the SNMP server, proceed as follows:
1. Select
Extras > Options
in the menu bar and open the
SNMP
tab.
1. Click the
Manage SNMPv3 Users
button.
A list appears with already created SNMPv3 users.
2. Click the
Add User
button.
A dialog window appears.
3. Enter the required data and click the
Ok
button to confirm your entries.
4. Click the
Close
button to close the users list.
5. Click the
Ok
button in the
SNMP
tab to confirm your settings.
6. Close the management software and restart it.
