Chapter 19: SNMPv3
206 Section IV: SNMPv3
SNMPv3 Tables
The SNMPv3 configuration is neatly divided into configuring SNMPv3 user
information and configuring the message notification. You must configure
all seven tables to successfully configure the SNMPv3 protocol. You use
the following tables for user configuration:
Configure SNMPv3 User Table
Configure SNMPv3 View Table
Configure SNMPv3 Access Table
Configure SNMPv3 SecurityToGroup Table
First, you create a user in the Configure SNMPv3 User Table. Then you
define the MIB view this user has access to in the Configure SNMPv3
View Table. To configure a security group and associate a MIB view to a
security group, you configure the Configure SNMPv3 Access Table.
Finally, configure the Configure SNMPv3 SecurityToGroup menu to
associate a user to a security group. See Figure 19 for an illustration of
how the user configuration tables are linked.
Figure 19. SNMPv3 User Configuration Process
In general, you focus on configuring security groups and then add and
delete users from the groups as needed. For example, you may want to
have two groups—one for manager privileges and a second one for
operator privileges. See Appendix B, “SNMPv3” on page 197 for an
example of manager and operator configurations.
After you configure an SNMPv3 user, you need to configure SNMPv3
message notification. This configuration is accomplished with the following
tables:
SNMPv3 User Table
SNMPv3 View Table
SNMPv3 Access Table
SNMPv3 Security To Group Table
Linked by User
Name/Security
Name
Linked by View Name
Linked by Group Name
