Any user can connect to the switch using the SNMPv3 protocol, but for authentication and encryption, the switch supports only one user (admin). Therefore, you can create or modify only one profile.
To configure authentication and encryption settings for the SNMPv3 admin profile by using the web interface:
- Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable. - Launch a web browser.
- In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
The login window opens. - Enter the switch’s password in the Password field.
The default password is password.
The System Information page displays. - Select System > SNMP > SNMPv3 > User Configuration.
The User Configuration page displays.
The SNMPv3 Access Mode field is a read-only field that shows the access privileges for the user account. Access for the admin account is always Read/Write. Access for all other accounts is Read Only. - To enable authentication, select an Authentication Protocol radio button.
You can select the MD5 radio button or the SHA radio button. With either of these options, the user login password is used as SNMPv3 authentication password. - To enable encryption:
- Select the Encryption Protocol DES radio button to encrypt SNMPv3 packets using the DES encryption protocol.
- In the Encryption Key field, enter an encryption code of eight or more alphanumeric characters.
- Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
