Provisioning for SNMP
Adding and Removing SNMP v3 Users
SNMPv3 provides additional security features not available in SNMPv2c. In addition
to the functions of SNMPv2c, SNMPv3 allows user and trapuser levels that are
based on authentication and privacy settings. The authentication algorithm is either
HMAC-SHA-1-96 or MD5, with a key of up to 32 characters in length. The privacy
settings are based on either the CBC-DES or AES encryption standard, with a key
of up to 32 characters in length. All keys are uppercase.
Use the
set snmp add user command to add a v3 user. Use the set snmp
delete user
command to remove an existing v3 user. The TP 2300/2700 will
support a maximum of ten v3 users.
Example - Add User
To add a user named “test12”, with a security level of “priv”, with a 20-character
MD5 authentication key “123456789ABCDEFGHIJK” and a 16-character DES
privacy key “ABCDEFG123456789”:
1. Type
set snmp add user test12 securlvl priv then press Enter.
2. Enter
MD5 at the authentication protocol prompt.
3. Enter
123456789ABCDEFGHIJK at the authentication key prompt.
4. Enter
DES at the privacy protocol prompt.
5. Enter
ABCDEFG123456789 at the privacy key prompt.
Example - Remove User
To remove an existing user named “dave123”, type
set snmp delete user
dave123
then press Enter.
Note: Do not use spaces within keys.
Only characters {a-z,A-Z,0-9,! ( ) - _ . ? ~ * @ ^ + = : / %} are
accepted for SNMP authentication or privacy keys.
