CAUTION:
Restricting access to only version 3 messages makes the community named "public"
inaccessible to network management applications (such as autodiscovery, traffic monitoring, SNMP
trap generation, and threshold setting) from running on the switch.
Example:
SNMP version 3
enable
command
SNMPv3 users
NOTE:
To create new users, most SNMPv3 management software requires an initial user record to
clone. The initial user record can be downgraded and provided with fewer features, but not upgraded
by adding new features. For this reason, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that when you
enable SNMPv3, you also create a second user with SHA authentication and DES privacy.
To use SNMPv3 on the switch, you must configure the users that will be assigned to different groups:
Procedure
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
on page
188)
2.
Assign users to Security Groups based on their security model with the
snmpv3 group
command (see
Assigning users to groups (CLI)
on page 189).
CAUTION:
If you add an SNMPv3 user without authentication, privacy, or both, to a group that
requires either feature, the user will not be able to access the switch. Ensure that you add a user with
the appropriate security level to an existing security group.
