Examples for different security levels

This example shows how an SNMPv3 user created with different security levels can use the SNMP client-side commands, such as snmpwalk, to query the cluster objects.

For better performance, you should retrieve all objects in a table rather than a single object or a few objects from the table.
Note
You must use snmpwalk 5.3.1 or later when the authentication protocol is SHA.

Security level: authPriv​

The following output shows the creation of an SNMPv3 user with the authPriv security level.

cluster-1::> security login create -username snmpv3user -application snmp -authmethod usm

Please enter the authoritative entity's EngineID [local EngineID]:

Please choose an authentication protocol (none, md5, sha) [none]:sha

Please enter authentication protocol password (minimum 8 characters long):

Please enter authentication protocol password again:

Please choose a privacy protocol (none, des) [none]: des

Please enter privacy protocol password (minimum 8 characters long):

Please enter privacy protocol password again:

The following output shows the SNMPv3 user running the snmpwalk command:

$ snmpwalk -v 3 -u snmpv3user -a SHA -A password1! -x DES -X password1! -l authPriv 192.0.2.62 .1.3.6.1.4.1.789.1.5.8.1.2
enterprises.789.1.5.8.1.2.1028 = "vol0"
enterprises.789.1.5.8.1.2.1032 = "vol0"
enterprises.789.1.5.8.1.2.1038 = "root_vs0"
enterprises.789.1.5.8.1.2.1042 = "root_vstrap"
enterprises.789.1.5.8.1.2.1064 = "vol1"

Security level: authNoPriv​

The following output shows the creation of an SNMPv3 user with the authNoPriv security level.

cluster-1::> security login create -username snmpv3user1 -application snmp -authmethod usm -role admin 

Please enter the authoritative entity's EngineID [local EngineID]: 

Please choose an authentication protocol (none, md5, sha) [none]: md5

Please enter authentication protocol password (minimum 8 characters long): 

Please enter authentication protocol password again: 

Please choose a privacy protocol (none, des) [none]: none

The following output shows the SNMPv3 user running the snmpwalk command:

$ snmpwalk -v 3 -u snmpv3user1 -a MD5 -A password1!  -l authNoPriv 192.0.2.62 .1.3.6.1.4.1.789.1.5.8.1.2
enterprises.789.1.5.8.1.2.1028 = "vol0"
enterprises.789.1.5.8.1.2.1032 = "vol0"
enterprises.789.1.5.8.1.2.1038 = "root_vs0"
enterprises.789.1.5.8.1.2.1042 = "root_vstrap"
enterprises.789.1.5.8.1.2.1064 = "vol1"

Security level: noAuthNoPriv​

The following output shows the creation of an SNMPv3 user with the noAuthNoPriv security level.

cluster-1::> security login create -username snmpv3user2 -application snmp -authmethod usm -role admin 

Please enter the authoritative entity's EngineID [local EngineID]: 

Please choose an authentication protocol (none, md5, sha) [none]: none

The following output shows the SNMPv3 user running the snmpwalk command:

$ snmpwalk -v 3 -u snmpv3user2 -l noAuthNoPriv 192.0.2.62 .1.3.6.1.4.1.789.1.5.8.1.2
enterprises.789.1.5.8.1.2.1028 = "vol0"
enterprises.789.1.5.8.1.2.1032 = "vol0"
enterprises.789.1.5.8.1.2.1038 = "root_vs0"
enterprises.789.1.5.8.1.2.1042 = "root_vstrap"
enterprises.789.1.5.8.1.2.1064 = "vol1"
