Cisco 500 Series Stackable Managed Switch Administration Guide
To display SNMP users and define new ones:
Click SNMP > Users.
This page contains existing users.
Click Add.
This page provides information for assigning SNMP access control privileges to
SNMP users.
Enter the parameters.
• User Name—Enter a name for the user.
• Engine ID—Select either 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. To receive inform messages and request
information, you must define both a local and remote user.
- Local—User is connected to the local device.
- Remote IP Address—User is connected to a different SNMP entity
besides the local device. If the remote Engine ID is defined, remote
devices receive inform messages, but cannot make requests for
information.
Enter the remote engine ID.
• Group Name—Select the SNMP group to which the SNMP user belongs.
SNMP groups are defined in the Add Group page.
Users, who belong to groups which have been deleted, remain, but
NOTE
they are inactive.
• Authentication Method—Select the Authentication method that varies
according to the Group Name assigned. If the group does not require
authentication, then the user cannot configure any authentication. The
options are:
- None—No user authentication is used.
- MD5—A password that is used for generating a key by the MD5
authentication method.
- SHA—A password that is used for generating a key by the SHA (Secure
Hash Algorithm) authentication method.
