Chapter 4 Configuring Controller Settings
Changing the Default Values for SNMP v3 Users
Step 1 See the current list of SNMP communities for this controller by entering this command:
show snmp community
Step 2 If “public” or “private” appears in the SNMP Community Name column, enter this command to delete
this community:
config snmp community delete name
The name parameter is the community name (in this case, “public” or “private”).
Step 3 Create a new community by entering this command:
config snmp community create name
Enter up to 16 alphanumeric characters for the name parameter. Do not enter “public” or “private.”
Step 4 Enter the IP address from which this device accepts SNMP packets with the associated community by
entering this command:
config snmp community ipaddr ip_address ip_mask name
Step 5 Specify the access level for this community by entering this command, where ro is read-only mode and
rw is read/write mode:
config snmp community accessmode {ro | rw} name
Step 6 Enable or disable this SNMP community by entering this command:
config snmp community mode {enable | disable} name
Step 7 Save your changes by entering save config.
Step 8 Repeat this procedure if you still need to change the default values for a “public” or “private” community
string.
Changing the Default Values for SNMP v3 Users
The controller uses a default value of “default” for the username, authentication password, and privacy
password for SNMP v3 users. Using these standard values presents a security risk. Therefore, Cisco
strongly advises that you change these values.
Note SNMP v3 is time sensitive. Make sure that you have configured the correct time and time zone on your
controller.
Using the GUI to Change the SNMP v3 User Default Values
To change the SNMP v3 user default values using the controller GUI, follow these steps:
Step 1 Choose Management > SNMP > SNMP V3 Users to open the SNMP V3 Users page (see Figure 4-17).
