Security Overview

Getting Started with Access Security

If SNMP access to the hpSwitchAuth MIB is considered a security risk

in your network, then you should implement the following security

precautions:

■ If SNMP access to the authentication configuration (hpSwitchAuth) MIB

described above is not desirable for your network, use the following

command to disable this feature:

snmp-server mib hpswitchauthmib excluded

■ If you choose to leave the authentication configuration MIB accessible,

then you should do the following to help ensure that unauthorized work-

stations cannot use SNMP tools to access the MIB:

a. Configure SNMP version 3 management and access security on the

switch.

b. Disable SNMP version 2c on the switch.

For details on this feature, refer to the section titled “Using SNMP To View

and Configure Switch Authentication Features” on page 5-21.

For more information on configuring SNMP, refer to the section “Using SNMP

Tools To Manage the Switch” in the chapter “Configuring for Network

Management Applications” in the Management and Configuration Guide

for your switch.
