Review/edit System Information

  1. Go to Network :: SNMP.

  2. Click System (displays dialog).

  3. Two fields can be edited:

    1. SysContact (email address)

    2. SysLocation (location name)

  4. If changed, click Save.

  5. If not, click Cancel to return to table.

Add SNMP Community/Username Configuration

  1. Go to Network :: SNMP.

  2. Click Add (displays dialog). 

  3. In the Version menu (select one):

    • Version V1/V2 radio button (expands dialog). Enter Community and Source. (if applicable) Enable SNMP for IPv6 checkbox. 

    • Version 3 radio button (expands dialog):

      Enter Username.
      On Security Level drop-down, select one (NoAuthNoPriv, AuthNoPriv, AuthPriv).
      On Authentication Algorithm drop-down, select one (MD5, SHA, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512).
      Enter Authentication Password.
      On Privacy Algorithm drop-down, select one (DES, AES, AES-192, AES-256).
      Enter Privacy Password

Note

Now when using the export_settings command in CLI there will be a behavior change. The fields authentication_password and privacy_password will no longer display the actual password values as this implementation will store SNMPv3 passwords in a hashed format. For this the service needs to be enabled on the SECURITY::SERVICES::GENERAL SERVICES page, under Active Services, Enable SNMP Service checkbox.

Before the SNMP service is enabled:

  • It is possible to create and configure SNMPv3 users and traps even if the SNMP service is currently disabled.

  • During this phase, SNMPv3 authentication and privacy passwords are stored in plain text in the system configuration.

  • This is necessary so the system can apply the credentials correctly when the SNMP service is later enabled.

After the SNMP service is enabled:

  • Once the SNMP service is enabled for the first time, Nodegrid will automatically hash all stored SNMPv3 passwords.

  • From the point the service is enabled, SNMPv3 credentials are no longer stored in plain text.

  • Subsequent updates to SNMPv3 passwords are also stored only in hashed form.

Warning

Executing “Apply Settings” on a device with a different MAC Address than the one used during “Save Settings” will break SNMPv3 functionality. In such cases, you must re-enter the passwords configured for SNMPv3 users and/or traps.

This condition applies only to old installations in which “Save Settings” was executed on a device that was upgraded without disk reformatting. If “Save Settings” was performed on a new installation (i.e., after a software upgrade with disk formatting or after resetting the unit to factory defaults), “Apply Settings” will function normally.

  1. On OID menu:
