Using the SNMPv3 User-based Security Model
MAX units with the Network Management option enabled support security enhancements
based on the SNMPv3 User-based Security Model (USM), which is compliant with RFC 2574.
Verifying Network Management is installed
Verify that the Network Management option is installed on your MAX unit, by checking the
Sys Option status window. If the option is installed, the status window shows it, as in the
following example:
00-100 Sys Option
K56 Slot Card Only
Not Installed
Net Mgmt Installed
For complete information about using status windows, see the Hardware Installation and
Basic Configuration Guide for your unit.
Required SNMP Options profile settings
The Message Type parameter Ethernet > Mod Config > SNMP Options > Message Type
specifies the SNMP version(s) that the MAX unit’s SNMP agent supports. Specify one of the
following values:
•
V1-and-V3
(the default)—The SNMP agent supports both the SNMPv1 and SNMPv3
protocols.
•
V1-only
—The SNMP agent discards SNMPv3 messages.
•
V3-only
—The SNMP discards SNMPv1 messages.
The Security Level parameter specifies whether or not the MAX unit verifies user’s the
Security Level settings. The unit compares the Security Level field in the incoming message to
the one specified on the unit. If the Security Levels do not match, the unit sends a report
message. Specify one of the following settings:
•
None
—The MAX unit does not require a security level check for the incoming message.
None is the default.
•
Auth-Nopriv
—The MAX unit requires a Security Level of
auth-nopriv
in the
incoming message.
•
Auth-Priv
—The MAX unit requires a Security Level of
auth-priv
in the incoming
message.
