1.4.2 Configuring Basic SNMPv3 Functions
After basic SNMP functions are configured, an NM station can perform basic operations such
as Get and Set operations on a managed device, and the managed device can send alarms to the
NM station.
Context
Steps
, and
are mandatory for the configuration of basic SNMP functions. After the
configurations, basic SNMP communication can be conducted between the NM station and
managed device.
Procedure
Step 1
Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2
(Optional) Run:
snmp-agent
The SNMP agent function is enabled.
By default, the SNMP agent function is disabled. Running any command with the parameter
snmp-agent
can enable the SNMP agent function, so this step is optional.
Step 3
(Optional) Run:
snmp-agent sys-info
version
v3
The SNMP version is set.
By default, SNMPv3 is enabled. So, this step is optional.
Step 4
Run:
snmp-agent group
v3
group-name
[
authentication
|
privacy
]
An SNMPv3 user group is configured.
If the network or network devices are in an environment lacking security (for example, the
network is vulnerable to attacks),
authentication
or
privacy
can be configured in the command
to enable data authentication or encryption.
The available authentication and encryption modes are as follows:
l
No authentication and no encryption:
authentication
and
privacy
are not configured in the
command. This mode is applicable to secure networks managed by a specified administrator.
l
Authentication without encryption: Only
authentication
is configured in the command. This
mode is applicable to secure networks managed by many administrators who may frequently
perform operations on the same device. In this mode, only the authenticated administrators
can access the managed device.
l
Authentication and encryption:
privacy
is configured in the command. This mode is
applicable to insecure networks managed by many administrators who may frequently
perform operations on the same device. In this mode, only the authenticated administrators
can access the managed device, and transmitted data is encrypted to guard against
interception and data leaking.
