Standard MIBs Introduction to SNMP 1 4. If privacy is needed, the message is decrypted using the private key; it is encrypted again before sending back. NOTE: The authentication/privacy key (password) configured for an SNMPv3 user on a switch is not localized. Therefore, the authentication/privacy key configured in the SNMP management application must be configured as a non-localized authentication/privacy key in ASCII format. For more information on localization, refer to http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3414.txt?number=3414. VACM Message Access Control The following steps describe how SNMPv3 messages are processed in the View-based Access Control Model: 1. A security name and security model pair are mapped to a group name string. On receiving the packet, the agent checks for the user name and security model and extracts the group name from the security-to-group name table. 2. The vacmContextTable is used to store all locally available contexts. The contextName found in the scoped PDU is then searched in this table. If the search is successful, it gives an index of the context in the table. Otherwise a noSuchContext error is returned. 3. The vacmAccessTable is used get the view name of the MIB to be referenced. This decision is based on the group name, context name, security model and security level. The security model and security level are derived from the received packet. 4. The derived view name is used to index into the vacmFamilyTreeTable for access checking. The OID of a managed object is then checked against this MIB view. If the OID is part of the current MIB view, then access is granted; otherwise errorIndication (notInView) is returned. Currently, you can configure SNMPv3 only through the command line interface (CLI) of the switch. Refer to the E/OS Command Line Interface User Manual for detailed information about the commands and their respective parameters. Standard MIBs are those created and approved by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and other Internet standards bodies and are readily available for use with SNMP network management stations. The standard MIBs provide a baseline of common Network Management using SNMP 1-7
