Procedure
Step 1 Perform one or more of the following actions:
|
If you want to:
|
Action
|
Add a new SNMP user |
a. Click Add New b. Go to Step 2. |
Modify an existing SNMP user |

Step 2 Enter the configuration settings for V3
|
Field
|
Description
|
Server |
This setting displays as read only because you already specified the server. |
User Name |
In the field, enter the name of the user for which you want to provide access. The name can contain up to 32 characters and can contain any combination of alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), and underscore characters (_).
Tip Enter users that you have already configured for the network management system (NMS).
For existing SNMP users, this setting displays as read only. |
Authentication Required |
Check to require authentication, then enter the password in the Password and Reenter Password fields, and select the appropriate protocol. The password must contain at least 8 characters. |
Privacy Required |
If you checked Authentication Required, you can specify privacy information. Check to require privacy, and then enter the password in the Password and Reenter Password fields, and check Protocol. The password must contain at least eight characters.
Tip
After you check Privacy Required, the DES (Data Encryption Standard) check box automatically appears checked. The DES protocol prevents packets from being disclosed.

Accept SNMP Packets from any host |
To accept SNMP packets from any host, click the radio button. |
Accept SNMP Packets only from these hosts |
To accept SNMP packets from specific hosts, click the radio button. In the Host IP Address field, enter a host from which you want to accept SNMP packets and click Insert. Repeat this process for each host from which you want to accept SNMP packets. To delete a host, select that Host from the Host IP Addresses pane and click Remove. |
Access Privileges |
From the list box, select one of the following options for the access level: •ReadOnly—The user can only read the values of MIB objects. •ReadWrite—The user can read and write the values of MIB objects. •ReadWriteNotify—The user can read and write the values of MIB objects and send MIB object values for a trap and inform messages. •NotifyOnly—The user can only send MIB object values for a trap and inform messages. •None—The user cannot read, write, or send trap information. To change the trap configuration parameters, you need to configure a user with NotifyOnly or ReadWriteNotify privileges. |
Apply To All Nodes |
Check to apply the user configuration to all nodes in the cluster. |
Step 3 Perform one of the following actions:
a. Click Insert to add a new user.
b. Click Save to save changes to an existing user.
Step 4 Perform one of the following actions when a message indicates that changes will not take effect until you restart the SNMP master agent:
a. Click OK to restart the SNMP master agent service.
b. Click Cancel to continue the configuration without restarting the SNMP master agent.
Troubleshooting Tips
•We recommend that you wait until you finish the SNMP configuration before you restart the SNMP master agent service.
•To access this Cisco Unified Communications Manager server that has the user that you configure, make sure that you configure this user on the NMS with the appropriate authentication and privacy settings.
•You can click Clear All at any time to delete all information that you entered for all settings.

Finding an SNMP User
Before You Begin
Review the SNMP configuration checklist.
Procedure
Step 1 Select Snmp > V3 > User.
Step 2 Select the specific search criteria that you want to use to find the user; for example, begins with.
Step 3 Enter the user name for which you want to search.
Step 4 Select the hostname or IP address of the server where you access the user from the Server list box.
Step 5 Click Find.
Step 6 Check the name of the option and check Apply to All Nodes.
Step 7 Click the user that you want to view from the list of results.
Troubleshooting Tips
•After you click the Find button, the Add New button displays. After the search results display, Apply to All Nodes displays.
•The Add New button does not display in the SNMP User Configuration window until you click the Find button. If no users exist and you want to add want a user, click the Find button and wait for the window to refresh. The Add New button displays.

Step 2 Check the user that you want to delete from the list of matching records.
Step 3 Click Delete Selected. A message indicates that the system will delete notification entries that relate to this user.
Step 4 Click OK to continue the deletion. A message indicates that changes will not take effect until you restart the SNMP master agent.
Step 5 Perform one of the following actions:

b. Click Cancel to continue the configuration without restarting the SNMP master agent.
Troubleshooting Tips
Cisco recommends that you wait until you finish all the SNMP configuration before you restart the SNMP master agent service.
