MAX Administration Guide

For the MAX unit to accept SNMPv3 USM messages, you must configure the Message Type
and Security parameters (in the SNMP Options profile) to their default settings,
v1-and-v3
and
none
, respectively. For example:
90-B00 Mod Config
SNMP Options...
Read Comm=public
R/W Comm Enable=Yes
R/W Comm=write
Security=No
RDmgr1=0.0.0.0
.
RD Mgr5=0.0.0.0
WR Mgr1=0.0.0.0
.
WR Mgr5=0.0.0.0
Queue Depth=0
Message Type=
v
1-andv3
Security Level=none
Required SNMPv3 USM Users profile settings
To enable SNMPv3 USM security features, you must configure at least one SNMPv3 USM
Users profile. Enable up to nine profiles on the MAX unit. For example:
90-B00 SNMPv3 USM Users
90-B01
90-B02
90-B03
90-B04
90-B05
90-B06
90-B07
90-B08
90-B09
For each SNMPv3 USM Users profile, you must specify a profile name and set the Active
parameter to
Yes
. You must also specify a password if the Auth Protocol parameter is set to
any setting other than
none
. For example:
90-B01
Name=Boston1
Passwd=******
Active=Yes
R/W Access=No
Auth Protocol=md5-auth
Priv Protocol=N/A
In the preceding example, the user has specified Name and a Passwd values because the Auth
Protocol setting is
md5-auth
. Specification of a Password is not required if the Auth Protocol
