Setting Up User-Based Security (SNMPv3)
When setting up SNMPv3, you can set users up with one of the following three types of configuration for
SNMP read/write operations.
Users are typically associated to an SNMP group with permissions provided, such as OID view.
• noauth — no password or privacy. Select this option to set up a user with no password or privacy
privileges. This setting is the basic configuration. Users must have a group and profile that do not
require password privileges.
• auth — password privileges. Select this option to set up a user with password authentication.
• priv — password and privacy privileges. Select this option to set up a user with password and privacy
privileges.
To set up user-based security (SNMPv3), use the following commands.
• Configure the user with view privileges only (no password or privacy privileges).
CONFIGURATION mode
snmp-server user name group-name 3 noauth
• Configure an SNMP group with view privileges only (no password or privacy privileges).
CONFIGURATION mode
snmp-server group group-name 3 noauth auth read name write name
• Configure an SNMPv3 view.
CONFIGURATION mode
snmp-server view view-name oid-tree {included | excluded}
NOTE: To give a user read and write view privileges, repeat this step for each privilege type.
• Configure the user with an authorization password (password privileges only).
CONFIGURATION mode
snmp-server user name group-name 3 noauth auth md5 auth-password
• Configure an SNMP group (password privileges only).
