GS716Tv3, GS724Tv4, and GS748Tv5 Smart Switches Use SNMPv3 The switch software supports the configuration of SNMP groups and users that can manage traps that the SNMP agent generates. The switch uses both standard public MIBs for standard functionality and private MIBs that support additional switch functionality. All private MIBs begin with a hyphen (-) prefix. The main object for interface configuration is in -SWITCHING-MIB, which is a private MIB. Some interface configurations also involve objects in the public MIB, IF-MIB. SNMP is enabled by default. The System Information screen, which is the screen that displays after a successful login, displays the information you need to configure an SNMP manager to access the switch. To configure information for SNMPv1 or SNMPv2, see SNMP on page 56. Any user can connect to the switch using the SNMPv3 protocol, but for authentication and encryption, the switch supports only one user which is admin; therefore there is only one profile that can be created or modified. To configure authentication and encryption settings for the SNMPv3 admin profile by using the web interface: 1. Select System > SNMP > SNMPv3 > User Configuration. The User Configuration screen displays. The SNMPv3 Access Mode is a read-only field that shows the access privileges for the user account. The admin account always has Read/Write access, and all other accounts have Read Only access. 2. To enable authentication, select an Authentication Protocol option. If the authentication protocol is MD5 or SHA, the user login password will be used as SNMPv3 authentication password. To configure the login password, see Change Password on page 178. 3. To enable encryption: a. In the Encryption Protocol field, select the DES option to encrypt SNMPv3 packets using the DES encryption protocol. b. In the Encryption Key field, enter an encryption code of eight or more alphanumeric characters. 4. Click the Apply button. Getting Started 26
