Configuring Event Security

SNMP events can be secured against interception or eavesdropping in the same way that SNMP messages are secured. DCNM-SAN or Device Manager allow you to configure the message processing model, the security model, and the security level for the SNMP events that the switch generates.

Restrictions

• This is an advanced function that should only be used by administrators having experience with SNMPv3.

Detailed Steps

To configure SNMP event security, follow these steps:

1. Expand Events and then select SNMP Traps.
2. Click the Security tab in the Information pane.

You see the security information for SNMP notifications.

3. Set the message protocol model (MPModel), security model, security name, and security level.
4. Click the Apply Changes icon to save and apply your changes.
