Chapter 34 Access Control Table 108 Management > Access Control > SNMP (continued) LABEL DESCRIPTION Set Community Enter the Set Community, which is the password for incoming Setrequests from the management station. Trap Community The Set Community string is only used by SNMP managers using SNMP version 2c or lower. Enter the Trap Community string, which is the password sent with each trap to the SNMP manager. Trap Destination Version IP Port Username The Trap Community string is only used by SNMP managers using SNMP version 2c or lower. Use this section to configure where to send SNMP traps from the Switch. Specify the version of the SNMP trap messages. Enter the IP addresses of up to four managers to send your SNMP traps to. Enter the port number upon which the manager listens for SNMP traps. Enter the username to be sent to the SNMP manager along with the SNMP v3 trap. User Information Note: This username must match an existing account on the Switch (configured in the Management > Access Control > Logins screen). Use this section to configure users for authentication with managers using SNMP v3. Index Username Security Level Note: Use the username and password of the login accounts you specify in this section to create accounts on the SNMP v3 manager. This is a read-only number identifying a login account on the Switch. This field displays the username of a login account on the Switch. Select whether you want to implement authentication and/or encryption for SNMP communication from this user. Choose: • noauth: to use the username as the password string to send to the SNMP manager. This is equivalent to the Get, Set and Trap Community in SNMP v2c. This is the lowest security level. • auth: to implement an authentication algorithm for SNMP messages sent by this user. • priv: to implement authentication and encryption for SNMP messages sent by this user. This is the highest security level. Authenticati on Note: The settings on the SNMP manager must be set at the same security level or higher than the security level settings on the Switch. Select an authentication algorithm. MD5 (Message Digest 5) and SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm) are hash algorithms used to authenticate SNMP data. SHA authentication is generally considered stronger than MD5, but is slower. MES-3728 User's Guide 313
