CHAPTER 16: ADVANCED CONFIGURATION
Enter an Engine ID if required.
Engine ID is used to localize the SNMPv3 user. It will be automatically generated from a Network Interface (eth0) hardware address,
if left blank, or must be entered as a hex value (for example, 0x01020304).
Specify the Security Level.
TABLE 16-7. SECURITY LEVELS
SECURITY LEVEL
NOTES
noauth
No authentication or encryption required. This is the minimum security level.
auth
Authentication will be required but encryption is not enforced. An authentication protocol (SHA or MD5) and
password will be required.
priv
Enforces encryption use. This is the highest level of security and requires an encryption protocol (DES or
AES) and password in addition to the authentication protocol and password.
Enter the Read Only Username.
This field is mandatory when configuring the console server for SNMPv3.
For a Security Level of auth, set the Auth Protocol (SHA or MD5) and the Auth Password.
A password of at least 8 characters is required.
For a Security Level of priv, set the Privacy Protocol (DES or AES) and the Privacy Password.
AES is recommended. A password of at least 8 characters is required.
Click Apply.
Setup serial ports and devices as per requirements such as UPS, RPC/PDU and EMD.
Copy the mibs from /etc/snmp/mibs on the console server to a local directory using scp or Winscp. For example:
scp root@im4004:/etc/snmp/mibs/*
Using the snmpwalk and snmpget commands, status information can be retrieved from any console server. For example:
snmpwalk -Oa -v1 -M .:/usr/share/snmp/mibs -c public im4004 OG-STATUS-MIB::ogStatus
snmpget -Oa -v1 -M .:/usr/share/snmp/mibs -c public im4004 OG-
