Using SNMP Contexts to Access Specific MIBs
Bydefault,whenoperatingfromtheswitchCLI,SecureStackB3devicesallowaccesstoallSNMP
MIBsorcontexts.AcontextisacollectionofMIBobjects,oftenassociatedwithaparticular
physicalorlogicaldevice.
Ifnooptionalcontextparametersareconfiguredforv1andv2“community”namesandv3
“user”
groups,thesegroupsareabletoaccessallSNMPMIBobjectswheninswitchmode.
SpecifyingacontextparameterwhensettingupSNMPusergroupwouldpermitorrestrictthe
group’sswitchmanagementaccesstotheMIB(s)specifiedbythecontext(MIBobjectID)value.
AllSNMPcontextsknownto
thedevicecanbedisplayedusingtheshowsnmpcontextcommand
asdescribedin“showsnmpcontext”onpage 6‐20 .
Example
Thisexamplepermitsthe“powergroup”tomanageallMIBsviaSNMPv3:

Configuration Considerations
CommandsforconfiguringSNMPontheSecureStackB3deviceareindependentduringthe
SNMPsetupprocess.Forinstance,targetparameterscanbespecifiedwhensettingupoptional
notificationfilters—eventhoughtheseparametershavenotyetbeencreatedwiththesetsnmp

v3 NoAuthNoPriv User name None Uses a user name match for
authentication.
AuthNoPriv MD5 or SHA None Provides authentication based on
the HMAC-MD5 or HMAC-SHA
algorithms.
authPriv MD5 or SHA DES Provides authentication based on
the HMAC-MD5 or HMAC-SHA
algorithms. Provides DES 56-bit
encryption in addition to
authentication based on the CBC-
DES (DES-56) standard.
