General System Configuration
Configuring SNMP
No t e SNMPv3 Users must be assigned to groups that have the same security levels.
If a user who has “AuthPriv” security (uses authentication and encryption) is
assigned to a read-only (RO) group, the user will not be able to access the
database. An AuthPriv user must be assigned to the RWPriv group with the
AuthPriv security level. See “snmpv3 user” on page 8-47 for more information.
To Configure SNMP v3 Users:
1. Select the Configuration tab.
2. Click the [
SNMP] button.
3. (Optional) If you want to change the default engine ID, enter the new ID
and click the
[Apply Changes] button first before making other configuration
changes.
4. Under SNMP Users, type a name in the New User field. User names are case
sensitive and can be up to 32 characters maximum.
5. Assign the user to a group by selecting RO, RWAuth, or RWPriv from the
Group drop-down list.
a. If the user is assigned to the RWAuth or RWPriv group, select MD5 from
the Auth Type drop-down list and enter a password. The password
must be between 8 and 32 ASCII characters and can include spaces.
b. If the user is assigned to the RWPriv group, also select DES from the
Priv Type drop-down list and enter a key. The key must be between 8
and 32 ASCII characters and can include spaces.
6. Click the
[Add] button to add the new user to the User List.
