Configuring SNMPv3 Users via ini File
Use the [SNMPUsers] ini file table parameter to add, modify, and delete SNMPv3 users. The [SNMPUsers] ini table is a hidden parameter. Therefore, when you load the ini file to the device using the Web interface, the table is not included in the generated file.
SNMPv3 Table Columns Description
|
Parameter |
Description |
Default |
|---|---|---|
|
Row number |
Table index. Its valid range is 0 to 9. |
N/A |
|
SNMPUsers_Username |
Name of the v3 user. Must be unique. The maximum length is 32 characters. |
N/A |
|
SNMPUsers_AuthProtocol |
Authentication protocol to be used for this user. Possible values are 0 (none), 1 (MD5), 2 (SHA-1) |
0 |
|
SNMPUsers_PrivProtocol |
Privacy protocol to be used for this user. Possible values are 0 (none), 1 (DES), 2 (3DES), 3 (AES128), 4 (AES192), 5 (AES256) |
0 |
|
SNMPUsers_AuthKey |
Authentication key. |
"" |
|
SNMPUsers_PrivKey |
Privacy key. |
"" |
|
SNMPUsers_Group |
The group that this user is associated with. Possible values are 0 (read-only group), 1 (read-write group), and 2 (trap group). The actual group will be ReadGroup<sl>, ReadWriteGroup<sl> or TrapGroup<sl> where <sl> is the SecurityLevel (1=noAuthNoPriv, 2=authNoPriv, 3=authPriv) |
0 |
Keys can be entered in the form of a text password or in the form of a localized key in hex format. If using a text password, then it should be at least 8 characters in length. Below is an example showing the format of a localized key:
26:60:d8:7d:0d:4a:d6:8c:02:73:dd:22:96:a2:69:df
The following sample configuration creates three SNMPv3 USM users.
[ SNMPUsers ]
FORMAT SNMPUsers_Index = SNMPUsers_Username, SNMPUsers_AuthProtocol, SNMPUsers_PrivProtocol, SNMPUsers_AuthKey, SNMPUsers_PrivKey, SNMPUsers_Group;
SNMPUsers 0 = v3user, 0, 0, -, -, 0;
SNMPUsers 1 = v3admin1, 1, 0, myauthkey, -, 1;
SNMPUsers 2 = v3admin2, 2, 1, myauthkey, myprivkey, 1;
[ \SNMPUsers ]
The example above creates three SNMPv3 users:
| ■ | The user v3user is set up for a security level of noAuthNoPriv(1) and is associated with ReadGroup1. |
| ■ | The user v3admin1 is setup for a security level of authNoPriv(2), with authentication protocol MD5. The authentication text password is “myauthkey” and the user is associated with ReadWriteGroup2. |
| ■ | The user v3admin2 is setup for a security level of authPriv(3), with authentication protocol SHA-1 and privacy protocol DES. The authentication text password is “myauthkey”, the privacy text password is “myprivkey”, and the user is associated with ReadWriteGroup3. |
