User Security Model
An SNMP user is defined by the following:
• Login credentials (username, password, and authentication method)
• Context and scope in which the user operates
• Association with a group
•Engine ID
SNMP user login credentials are verified using a local database.
After a user is authenticated, it takes on the attributes of its group, and can
then access the views permitted to this group. A user can only be a member of
a single group.
Before you create an SNMPv3 user, create an SNMPv3 group in the Access
Control pages.
When the configuration file is saved, SNMP communities/users are not
saved. This means that if you configure another device with this
configuration file, you must define the SNMP communities/users on that
device.
To create an SNMP V3 user, and assign it to a group and view:
1
Click Switch Management > SNMP Monitoring > User Security Model .
The currently-defined users and their groups are displayed.
2 To add a user, click Edit, Add , and enter the fields:
–
User Name (1-30 Characters) — Enter a new user name.
–
Engine ID — Specifies the local or remote SNMP entity, to which the
user is connected. Changing or removing the local SNMP Engine ID
deletes the SNMPv3 User Database. Select either
Local or Remote . If
Remote is selected, enter the remote engine ID.
–
Group Name — Select from a list of user-defined SNMP groups.
SNMP groups are defined in the
Access Control Group pages.
–
Authentication Method — Select an authentication method used to
authenticate users. The possible options are:
•
None — No user authentication is used.
•
MD5 Key — Users are authenticated using the HMAC-MD5
algorithm.
