Managing the SNMP Version 3 Configuration
SNMP version 3 is an interoperable standards-based protocol for network
management. SNMP version 3 provides secure access to devices by a
combination of packet authentication and encryption over the network. SNMP
version 3 provides the following security features:
 Message integrity—ensures that packets have not been altered
 Authentication—ensures that the packet is coming from a valid source
 Encryption—ensures that packet contents cannot be read by an
unauthorized source
To configure SNMP version 3, you must enable SNMP version 3 on the switch and
create one or more SNMP version 3 user accounts. To enable SNMP version 3,
enter the Set Setup SNMP Common command and set the SNMPv3Enabled
parameter to True:
SANbox #> admin start
SANbox (admin) #> set setup snmp common
A list of attributes with formatting and current values will follow.
Enter a new value or simply press the ENTER key to accept the current value.
If you wish to terminate this process before reaching the end of the list
press 'q' or 'Q' and the ENTER key to do so.

SnmpEnabled True
Contact <sysContact undefined>
