Setting SNMP Security
By default, the switch is set to “privacy all” which means the switch accepts only authenticated and
encrypted v3 Sets, Gets, and Get-Nexts. You can configure different levels of SNMP security by entering
snmp security followed by the command parameter for the desired security level. For example, the
following syntax sets the SNMP security level as “authentication all” as defined in the table below:
-> snmp security authentication all
The command parameters shown in the following table define security from the lowest level (no security)
to the highest level (traps only) as shown.
