NOTE: This is a quick recreation of an existing document, if you are logged into Thwack, you will be able to see the visual color codes here https://thwack.solarwinds.com/t5/Group-Archive/Brocade-SNMPv3-Configuration-Example/gpm-p/522047

PURPOSE: Simplified guide for Brocade FastIron Ethernet Switch SNMPv3 Configuration

Reference: Brocade SNMPv3 Overview

This guide is to provide a technical breakdown of the configuration so that you have a better understanding for setting up SNMPv3. Configuration Example at the bottom.

Notes for the Guide:

Username: TestSNMPv3User

Password: P@$$w0rd

View Name: TestSNMPv3View

Group Name: TestSNMPv3Group

1. 1. Create the View
    - - Example Command: SNMP-Server view TestSNMPv3View Internet included
      1. If you see %Bad OID, then Internet does not exist, use ISO (if exists), or 1.3.6
        Included MIB Family is included in the view
        Excluded MIB Family is excluded from the view
  2. Create the Group
    - - Example Command: SNMP-Server group TestSNMPv3Group v3 priv Read TestSNMPv3View Notify TestSNMPv3View
        Everything under here currently verifying
        v1: Group using the v1 security model
        v2c: Group using the v2c security model
        v3: Group using the User security model (SNMPv3)
        Auth: Group using the authNoPriv Security Model
        Noauth: Group using the noAuthNoPriv Security Model
        Priv: Group using the authPriv Security Model
        Access: Specify an access-list associated with this group
        Context: Specify a context to associate these views for the group
        Notify: Specify a notify view for the Group – Send a syslog every time a view is touched
        Read: Specify a read view for the group
        Write: Specify a write view for the group
  3. Create the User (usually do not see the user in Show Run/Show Start configurations)
    - - Example Command: SNMP-Server user TestSNMPv3User TestNMPv3Group v3 Auth AES P@$$w0rd priv P@$$w0rd
        Everything under here currently verifying
        Remote: Specify a remote SNMP entity to which the user belongs
        v1: Group using the v1 security model
        v2c: Group using the v2c security model
        v3: Group using the User security model (SNMPv3)
        Access: Specify an access-list associated with this group
        Auth: Authentication parameters for the user
        Encrypted: Specifying passwords as MD5 or SHA digests
        MD5: Use HMAC MD5 algorithm for authentication
        SHA: Use HMAC SHA1 algorithm for authentication
        3DES: Use 168 bit 3DES algorithm for encryption
        AES: Use AES 128, 192, or 256 bit algorithm for encryption
        DES: Use 56 but DES algorithm for encryption
  4. Send to Destination Host:
    1. 1. Example Command: SNMP-Server host 10.10.1.161 version 3 privacy TestSNMPv3User

Note: 10.10.1.161 is the Solarwinds server. If the Server is not in the list, then you will not be able to add the Device

Example Configuration

SNMP-Server group TestSNMPv3Group v3 priv Read all Notify all

SNMP-Server user TestSNMPv3User TestNMPv3Group v3 Auth AES P@$$w0rd priv P@$$w0rd

SNMP-Server host 10.10.1.161 version 3 privacy TestSNMPv3User
