Managing the HP 501
SNMPv3 configuration
SNMPv3 adds security in the form of configurable encryption of data and enhanced
authentication of users. You can configure security settings on a per-user basis. You can also
configure a user as an SNMPv3 receiver, so that the HP 501 sends SNMP trap messages to the
user.
Configuring SNMPv3 users
The
SNMPv3 users
page enables the network administrator to define multiple user IDs with
different privileges and security levels. A user can be configured to have read or write access
with either authentication or encryption or both. Users can also be configured to receive SNMP
notifications from the HP 501.

1. In the management tool, select
Management
>

4. Select the type of authentication to use on SNMP requests from the user:
•
MD5
: Require MD5 authentication on SNMPv3 requests from the user.
•
None
: SNMPv3 requests from this user require no authentication.
5. If you specified MD5 authentication, enter a value in
Auth key
box. The authentication
key can be from 8 to 32 alphanumeric characters.
6. From the
Encryption type
list, select the type of privacy to use on SNMP requests from
the user:
•
DES
