Target parameters

All SNMP notifications require Target parameters. They define the SNMP versions, security level, and privilege when sending notifications. This information is separate from target addresses, meaning you can associate multiple target addresses with a single target parameter.

The Target parameters tab shows the name, security settings, privilege mode, and user associated with all Target parameters on the switch.

To add target parameters, do as follows:

1. Go to Configure > SNMP > Target parameters.
2. Click Add.

3. Enter the following information:

   • Target parameter name: Enter the parameter name. It must be from 1 to 30 characters and can't include ", \, %, &, ?, ', !, ;, |, +, or spaces.
   • Message processing model: Select v1, v2c, or v3.
   • Security mode: Select v1, v2c, or v3.
   • Security name: Select a user from the drop-down list.

   • Privilege mode: Select one of the following options:

     • No authentication: Doesn't use any authentication.
     • Authentication: Authenticates users before they can interact with devices.
     • Privilege: Authenticates users and encrypts SNMP messages.

4. Click Apply.

To edit a target parameter, click Edit on the one whose settings you want to change.

To delete a target parameter, click Delete on the one you want to remove.
