Nortel ES 425 SNMPv3

[udobock]

Hi,

we use Nortel ES425 as Edge-Switch.

The only way to manage the switch should SNMPv3 only.

To config this, I use following in CLI:

Code: newbielink:javascript:void(0); [nonactive]

config# username someone <password> rw

config# snmp-server view root +1

config# snmp-server user someone read-view root write-view root notify-view root sha <password>

config# no snmp-server community rw

config# ssh

config# no telnet

config# webserver disable

config# copy conf nvram

SNMPv3 and SSH works, SNNMPv2 and Telnet did not work,but....

If I log in with Device Manager 6.211 with the User someone type no Authentication Protocol and no Password, I am able to manage the Switch.

What Do I make wrong?

FW: 3.6.0.1
SW: 3.6.2.15

Hi udobock,

I don't have any personal experience with the 425 but that's very interesting...

You have the secure version of software loaded... I'm guessing you do else the SSH and SNMPv3 wouldn't be available.

I would dump the running configuration "show running-config" and make sure you don't have any other commands in there.

Cheers!

Hi Michael,

this ist wrong:

Code: newbielink:javascript:void(0); [nonactive]

config# snmp-server user someone read-view root write-view root notify-view root sha <password>
this is the right way:

Code: newbielink:javascript:void(0); [nonactive]

config# snmp-server user someone sha <password> read-view root write-view root notify-view root
The Manual ist very ...

The hint comes from Nortel

Just be careful... I believe that syntax is specific to various switch models, meaning that syntax will only work on specific software releases and specific switch models.
