Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

SNMPv3 Settings Form
[This is the context-sensitive link for the SNMPv3 Settings Form. This topic is intentionally NOT in the TOC.]
If your network environment is using the SNMPv3 user-based security model (USM), provide the information NNMi needs for communication with the SNMPv3 agents in your environment.
You can provide the required information within the following contexts (any settings you establish are available for reuse):
- Configure default SNMPv3 settings
- Configure Credential Settings for Regions
- Configure the SNMPv3 Settings for specific Nodes (Specific Node Settings Form (Communication Settings))
- If the incoming trap's Source Node object or Source Object (such as card or interface) has not yet been discovered by NNMi, see Handle Unresolved Incoming Traps for additional information. See also Configure Network Devices to Send SNMP Notifications to NNMi.
- If the Source Node or Source Object of the incoming trap has been discovered by NNMi using SNMPv3, NNMi accepts incoming traps from SNMPv3, SNMPv2c, or SNMPv1.
- If the Source Node or Source Object of the incoming trap has been discovered by NNMi using SNMPv2c or SNMPv1, NNMi discards incoming traps from SNMPv3.
- NNMi discards traps that have no incident configuration or with an incident configuration set to Disabled. To ensure that NNMi retains all received Trap instances when your network environment includes SNMP agents using a variety of SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3 protocol, you must configure two Incidents: one for the SNMPv1 version and one for the SNMPv2c/3 version of that trap. See Configure SNMP Trap Incidents.
-
If either the Source Node or Source Object has Management Mode set to Not Managed or Out of Service in the NNMi database, NNMi always discards the incoming trap. See Understand the Effects of Setting the Management Mode to Not Managed or Out of Service.
NNMi provides the Management Mode workspace so that you can quickly view lists of all nodes, interfaces, IP addresses, chassis, cards, node sensors, or physical sensors that NNMi is not currently discovering or monitoring. For information about these views: See Also
Note If you want the NNMi management server to forward SNMPv3 traps to other machines in your network environment, see Configure NNMi SNMPv3 Security Settings for Trap Forwarding and Inform-Requests for additional configuration steps.
Attribute | Description |
---|---|
Unique Name | Provide a unique name for this configuration record. You can reuse SNMPv3 Settings for defaults, communication regions, or specific nodes. |
User Name | The SNMPv3 User Name is the text string used for SNMPv3 requests in your network environment. |
Context Name | The SNMPv3 context name text string used in your network environment. |
Authentication Protocol |
The SNMPv3 authentication protocol. Determines whether authentication is required and indicates the type of authentication protocol used. NNMi supports the following protocols:
Note Leaving this attribute empty means SNMP Minimum Security Level = No Authentication for this SNMPv3 configuration. |
Authentication Passphrase |
The SNMPv3 USMUser-based Security Model authentication passphrase for the specified SNMPv3 User Name. If required for authentication, provide the appropriate authentication passphrase for the authentication protocol. The length limitations of the authentication passphrase depend on the authentication protocol. Note Leaving this attribute empty means SNMP Minimum Security Level = No Authentication for this SNMPv3 configuration. |
Privacy Protocol |
Specify the SNMPv3 USMUser-based Security Model privacy protocol used by the NNMi management server. The SNMPv3 USM privacy protocol determines whether encryption is required and indicates the type of privacy protocol used. NNMi supports the following privacy protocols:
Note Leaving this attribute empty means SNMP Minimum Security Level = No Privacy for this SNMPv3 configuration. |
Privacy Passphrase |
The SNMPv3 USMUser-based Security Model privacy passphrase for the specified SNMPv3 User Name. If required for privacy, provide the appropriate encryption passphrase for use with the privacy protocol. The length limitations of the privacy passphrase depend on the privacy protocol. Note Leaving this attribute empty means SNMP Minimum Security Level= No Privacy for this SNMPv3 configuration. |
