Setup SNMP Agent User

Overview

This function sets up the user which accesses the SNMP Agent.

The security level and the MIB access range are configured for each user.

Up to ten users can be specified for each storage system.

Caution

  • If the "SNMP Function" is disabled, this function cannot be used.

  • The user name that is used in the "Setup SNMP Agent Trap" cannot be changed or deleted. However, note that some of the user information (MIB View Setting, Authentication, and Encryption) can be changed.

  • This function must be used when using SNMPv3 in SNMP communication between the SNMP Agent and the SNMP Manager. This setting is not necessary when SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c is used for SNMP communication.

Note

  • The authentication and encryption can be enabled/disabled, and also the MIB access range can be specified, for each user.
