SNMP v3 requires the use of user accounts to query entities. The SNMP Users feature enables you to add user accounts to your Corente Services network that can be used to obtain information from a Corente Services Gateway.
To access the SNMP Users feature, open the Global Intranet Settings category of the domain directory, then open the SNMP subcategory, and then select SNMP Users.
When you select SNMP Users, all SNMP User accounts that have been configured in this domain will be displayed in a table to the right of the domain directory. This table displays:
SNMP User: the SNMP User account name
Authorization Type: the Authorization Type that the account uses
SNMP Views: the number of SNMP Views that have been assigned to them
In Use by Traps: whether or not the SNMP User account is currently in use by a Location
You can edit or delete any existing user. To add a new user, make sure SNMP Users is selected in the domain directory and:
Select the New button in the toolbar.
From the File menu, select Add SNMP User.
Right-click SNMP Users in the domain directory and select Add SNMP User.
You will be taken to a blank Add SNMP User window.
Fill out this window as follows:
SNMP User Name: Enter the username for this user. You may use up to 30 alphanumeric characters. Hyphens and underscores are allowed, but do not use tabs, spaces, or punctuation marks when creating this name.
Authorization Type: Choose the type of authentication for SNMP users that is being used on your LAN. You can choose either MD5 or SHA.
Authorization Pass Phrase: Enter the pass phrase for this user.
Confirm Pass Phrase: Re-enter the pass phrase to confirm it and avoid mistakes.
Selected SNMP Views: All views that you have created with the SNMP Views feature will be listed. Select the checkbox beside the view that you would like to assign to this user. Select as many views as you would like to assign. Select All will select all views in this list while Clear All will clear all of your current choices.
When you click the OK button and then save your changes with the Save button in the App Net Manager toolbar, the new user will be added to the SNMP Users list in the domain directory.
