7.3.2.1 Editing a SNMP v3 Authentication and Privacy Password
The Edit screen enables the user to modify the password required to change the authentication keys.
Updating the password requires logging off of the system. Updating the existing password creates new
authentication and encryption keys. To edit an SNMP v3 user profile:
1. Select Management Access > SNMP Access from the main menu tree.
2. Select the v3 tab from within the SNMP Access screen.
3. Highlight an existing SNMP v3 User Name and click the Edit button.
The Authentication Protocol is the existing protocol for the User Profile. The Authentication Protocol
is not an editable option. The Privacy Protocol is the existing protocol for the User Profile. The Privacy
Protocol is also not an editable option.
4. Enter the Old Password used to grant Authentication Protocol and Privacy Protocol permissions for the
User Profile.
5. Enter the New Password, then verify the new password within the Confirm New Password area.
6. Click OK to save and add the changes to the running configuration and close the dialog.
7. Refer to the Status field for the current state of the requests made from applet. This field displays error
messages if something goes wrong in the transaction between the applet and the switch.
8. Click Cancel to close the dialog without committing updates to the running configuration.
7.3.3 Setting SNMP Access Message Parameters
The switch Web UI enables an administrator to set SNMP data access retry attempts and timeout values.

connection attempts.
To define the data collection retry and timeout intervals for SNMP Access:
1. Select Management Access > SNMP Access from the main menu tree.
2. Select the Message Parameters tab from within the SNMP Access screen.
