Create a Global SNMPv3 Object

You can create global SNMP settings or server-specific SNMP settings which are valid for one particular server. Global settings can be applied to server groups through policies.

Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Administration, SNMP in the user interface.

   SNMP settings page for global objects appears.

2. Click Actions, New to create an SNMP Settings object.

   The New SNMP Settings dialog appears.

3. Set SNMP Version to SNMPv3.

   The SNMPv3-related fields appear in the dialog.

4. Complete the following fields, and click OK:

   Name

   Specifies a name for the SNMP credentials that are being defined.

   Port

   Defines the port that is configured for SystemEDGE on the systems which you want to manage with these credentials.

   SNMP version

   Specifies SNMPv3 (already set in the previous step).

   Security User

   Specifies the SNMP security user for the SNMP credentials that are being defined.

   Access Type

   Specifies the access type. Valid options are Read-Only or Read-Write.

   Timeout

   Specifies how long in seconds to wait for a confirmation of notification delivery before timing out.

   Default: 10 seconds

   Retry limit

   Specifies the number of times to retry sending a notification after a timeout.

   Authentication

   Specifies the authentication protocol to use. Select MD5 or SHA from the Type drop-down list and specify a password.

   Privacy

   Specifies the privacy protocol to use. Select DES, AES, or 3DES from the Type drop-down list and specify a password.

   The SNMP settings are saved and appear in the Server Settings table.
