Chapter 4 Provisioning
Provisioning for SNMP
Adding and Removing v2 Communities
Use the “set snmp add v2-community” command to add a SNMP v2 community.
Use the “set snmp delete v2-community” command to remove an existing SNMP v2
community. The TP5000 will support a maximum of 10 v2 communities.
Example
To add a v2 community named “tech27”, with a security level of “read-only” and
remove an existing v2 community named “bob321”:
1. Type
set snmp add v2-community tech27 securlvl read-only then press
Enter.
2. Type
set snmp delete v2-community bob321 then press Enter
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 up to 32 characters in length. The privacy
settings are based on either the CBC-DES or AES encryption standard, with a with
a key 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 TP5000 will support a maximum
of 10 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
Note: To use v2 communities, the v2 state must be set to Enable
using the command “set snmp state-v2 enable”.
