snmpget -v 3 -u public -l authNopriv -a MD5 -A publicpwd 10.2.0.1 system.sysDescr.0
Finally, if SNMPv3 access is enabled, an authenticated, private request could be made with a
command like the following:
snmpget -v 3 -u public -l authpriv -a MD5 -A publicpwd -x DES -X publicpwd 10.2.0.1
system.sysDescr.0
The switch supports SNMPv1, v2, and v3. SNMPv1 and v2 access are essentially the same
from a security standpoint and are enabled and disabled together. SNMPv3 security may
be separately controlled. Thus you may prevent unauthenticated access to your switch by
disabling SNMPv1/v2 access entirely while retaining password-secured access via SNMPv3.
