To configure SNMP v3 on an Aruba 2930F switch, follow these steps:
Step 1: Access the switch’s command-line interface (CLI) via SSH or console.
Step 2: Enter the global configuration mode:
switch# configure terminal
Step 3: Create an SNMP view to define the OIDs accessible to SNMP users:
switch(config)# snmp-server view <view-name> <oid-tree> included
Replace <view-name> with a descriptive name for the view and <oid-tree> with the OID tree you want to include.
Step 4: Create an SNMP group and specify the security model (v3) and level (auth, priv):
switch(config)# snmp-server group <group-name> v3 auth read <view-name> write <view-name>
Replace <group-name> with a name for the SNMP group and <view-name> with the view created in step 3.
Step 5: Create an SNMP user and associate it with the group:
switch(config)# snmp-server user <user-name> <group-name> v3 auth md5 <auth-password> priv aes <priv-password>
Replace <user-name> with the desired username, <group-name> with the group from step 4, and <auth-password> and <priv-password> with strong passwords for authentication and privacy.
Step 6: Optionally, you can set the SNMP engine ID:
switch(config)# snmp-server engineid local <engine-id>
Replace <engine-id> with a unique identifier for the SNMP engine.
Step 7: Enable SNMP on the switch:
switch(config)# snmp-server enable
Step 8: Exit the configuration mode and save the changes:
switch(config)# exit switch# write memory
Following these steps will successfully configure SNMP v3 on Aruba 2930F switch, enabling secure monitoring and management. Aruba’s official documentation provides further guidance on SNMP v3 configuration, ensuring a smooth transition from SNMP v1/2 to v3.
