Configuration Steps

Step 1: Configure VLAN and add the port to the corresponding VLAN. (Omitted)

Step 2: Configure the IP address of the interface. (Omitted).

Step 3: Enable the SNMP proxy on Device and configure the SNMPv3 basic information.

#Configure Device.

Enable the SNMP proxy; configure the node view name as default and it can access all objects in the node 1.3.6.1.

Configure the user group as public and security level as authpriv; the read-write view and notify view both use default; configure the user name as public, belonging to the user group public, authentication algorithm as MD5, authentication password as admin, encryption algorithm as DES and encryption password as admin.

Configure the text name as public.

Step 4: Configure NMS.

#On the NMS using SNMP v3, we need to set the user name and select the security level. According to different security levels, we need to set the authentication algorithm, authentication password, encryption algorithm, encryption password and so on. Besides, we also need to set “timeout” and “re-try times”. The user queries and configures the device via the NMS.

Step 5: Check the result.

# On NMS, we can query and set some parameters of Device via the MIB node.
