Chapter 38 Access Control Table 90 SNMP (continued) LABEL DESCRIPTION Port Enter the port number upon which the manager listens for SNMP traps. Username Enter the username to be sent to the SNMP manager along with the SNMP v3 trap. Note: This username must match an existing account on the switch (configured in Management > Access Control > Logins screen). User Information 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. 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. Authenticatio Select an authentication algorithm. MD5 (Message Digest 5) and SHA (Secure n Hash Algorithm) are hash algorithms used to authenticate SNMP data. SHA authentication is generally considered stronger than MD5, but is slower. Privacy Specify the encryption method for SNMP communication from this user. You can choose one of the following: • DES - Data Encryption Standard is a widely used (but breakable) method of data encryption. It applies a 56-bit key to each 64-bit block of data. • AES - Advanced Encryption Standard is another method for data encryption that also uses a secret key. AES applies a 128-bit key to 128-bit blocks of data. Apply Click Apply to save your changes to the switch's run-time memory. The switch loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring. Cancel Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh. 38.2.5 Configuring SNMP Trap Group Click Management > Access Control > SNMP > Trap Group to view the screen as shown.

Configuring SNMP Trap Group
Click
Management
>
Access Control
>
SNMP
>
Trap Group
to view the screen as shown.
Use the
Trap
Group
screen to specify the types of SNMP traps that should be sent to each
SNMP manager.
Port
Enter the port number upon which the manager listens for SNMP traps.
Username
Enter the username to be sent to the SNMP manager along with the SNMP v3 trap.
Note: This username must match an existing account on the switch
(configured in
Management
>
Access Control
>
Logins
screen).
User Information
Use this section to configure users for authentication with managers using SNMP
v3.
Note: Use the username and password of the login accounts you
specify in this section to create accounts on the SNMP v3
manager.
Index
This is a read-only number identifying a login account on the switch.
Username
This field displays the username of a login account on the switch.
Security
Level
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.
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.
Authenticatio
n
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.
Privacy
Specify the encryption method for SNMP communication from this user. You can
choose one of the following:
DES
- Data Encryption Standard is a widely used (but breakable) method of data
encryption. It applies a 56-bit key to each 64-bit block of data.
AES
- Advanced Encryption Standard is another method for data encryption that
also uses a secret key. AES applies a 128-bit key to 128-bit blocks of data.
Apply
Click
Apply
to save your changes to the switch’s run-time memory. The switch
loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the
Save
link on the top
navigation panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are
done configuring.
Cancel
Click
Cancel
to begin configuring this screen afresh.
