Configuring Username and Password Security

Saving Security Credentials in a Config File

SNMP Security Credentials

SNMPv1 community names and write-access settings, and SNMPv3

usernames continue to be saved in the running configuration file even when

you enter the include-credentials command.

In addition, the following SNMPv3 security parameters are also saved:

where:

<name> is the name of an SNMPv3 management station.

[auth <md5 | sha>] is the (optional) authentication method used for the

management station.

<auth-pass> is the hashed authentication password used with the

configured authentication method.

[priv <priv-pass>] is the (optional) hashed privacy password used by a

privacy protocol to encrypt SNMPv3 messages between the switch and the

station.

The following example shows the additional security credentials for SNMPv3

users that can be saved in a running-config file:

Figure 2-7. Example of Security Credentials Saved in the Running-Config

Although you can enter an SNMPv3 authentication or privacy password in

either clear ASCII text or the SHA-1 hash of the password, the password is

displayed and saved in a configuration file only in hashed format, as shown in

the preceding example.

For more information about the configuration of SNMP security parameters,

refer to the chapter on “Configuring for Network Management Applications”

in the Management and Configuration Guide for your switch.
