Dell SNMPv3 Users

SNMPv3 supports cryptographic security by a combination of authenticating and encrypting the SNMP protocol packets over the network. Read-only access is currently supported. The admin user can add or remove SNMPv3 users.

Configuration commands

Configure a new SNMPv3 user (minimum 8 characters for passwords):

switch(config)# snmp-server user <USER> cray-reds-group 3 auth md5 <A-PASS> priv des <P-PASS>

NOTE: Removal an SNMPv3 user us not possible on Dell equipment.

Show commands to validate functionality:

switch# show snmp user

Example output

switch(config)# show snmp vrf
SNMP enabled VRF
