How to configure SNMPv3 in a Cisco Catalyst Switch – Series 2

In the first series we just started to know about SNMP Version 3 and we just created a SNMP View called ITKEView. Now let’s proceed further and create a SNMP group called “ITKEGroup”. This group is granted an access to view “ITKEview” which we created in the previous step. 

ITKE(config)# snmp-server group ITKEview v3 auth

Finally let’s create a SNMP username called   “ITKEuser” and grant it an access to the “ITKEGroup” that we created in previous step. We will provide an authentication password as well as privacy password which will serve as an encryption key for the SNMP protocol. ITKE(config)# nmp-server user ITKEuser  ITKEGroup  v3 auth md5 ITKEpass priv des56 ITKEpass2
