1   Introduction

This document describes how to create an SNMPv3 target. An SNMPv3 target is created to forward Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) notifications to a management system over the SNMPv3 protocol.

1.1   Prerequisites

This section describes the prerequisites, which must be fulfilled before using the procedure.

1.1.1   Conditions

The following conditions must apply:

• The target IP address is known and according to the network IP plan.
• The new attribute values of Managed Object (MO) SnmpTargetV3 are known.
• The SnmpSecurityName of SnmpTargetV3 must be unique for each v3 target.
• An Ericsson Command-Line Interface (ECLI) session in Exec mode is in progress.

2   Procedure

To create an SNMPv3 target:

1. Navigate to the Snmp MO, for example:

   >dn ManagedElement=NODE06ST,SystemFunctions=1,SysM=1,Snmp=1

2. Enter Config mode:

   (Snmp=1)>configure

3. Create an SNMPv3 target, for example:

   (config-Snmp=1)>SnmpTargetV3=OSS_v3

4. For the SnmpTargetV3 MO, set the attributes, for example:

   (config-SnmpTargetV3=OSS_v3)>snmpSecurityLevel=AUTH_PRIV

   (config-SnmpTargetV3=OSS_v3)>privProtocol=DES

   (config-SnmpTargetV3=OSS_v3)>authProtocol=MD5

   (config-SnmpTargetV3=OSS_v3)>user="user1"

   (config-SnmpTargetV3=OSS_v3)>address="192.0.2.10"

   (config-SnmpTargetV3=OSS_v3)>port=1162

   (config-SnmpTargetV3=OSS_v3)>privKey="myprivatekey" cleartext

   (config-SnmpTargetV3=OSS_v3)>authKey="myauthorizationkey" cleartext

5. Commit the settings:

   (config-SnmpTargetV3=OSS_v3)>commit

6. Verify the settings:

   (SnmpTargetV3=OSS_v3)>show -v

   The following is an example output:

   SnmpTargetV3=OSS_v3 address="192.0.2.10" administrativeState=UNLOCKED <default> authKey="myauthorizationkey" authProtocol=MD5 <default> informRetryCount=1 <default> informTimeout=300 <default> isMibWritable=true <default> operationalState=ENABLED <read-only> port=1162 privKey="myprivatekey" privProtocol=DES <default> snmpSecurityLevel=AUTH_PRIV <default> snmpTargetV3Id=OSS_v3 transportMethod=TRAP <default> user="user1"
