set snmp security Sets the minimum level of security MSS requires for SNMP message
exchanges.
Syntax —
set snmp security
{unsecured | authenticated | encrypted | auth-req-unsec-notify}
unsecured — SNMP message exchanges are not secure. This is the
only value supported for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c.
authenticated — SNMP message exchanges are authenticated but
are not encrypted.
encrypted — SNMP message exchanges are authenticated and
encrypted.
auth-req-unsec-notify— SNMP message exchanges are
authenticated but are not encrypted, and notifications are neither
authenticated nor encrypted.
Defaults — By default, MSS allows nonsecure (unsecured) SNMP
message exchanges.
Access — Enabled.
History — Introduced in MSS Version 4.0.
Usage — SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c do not support authentication or
encryption. If you plan to use SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c, leave the minimum
level of SNMP security set to unsecured.
Examples — The following command sets the minimum level of SNMP
security allowed to authentication and encryption:
WX1200# set snmp security encrypted
success: change accepted.
