Hello everyone I'm trying to configure snmpv3 on a extreme summit 200-48 switch and not having any luck. Here is what I've done so far.<br />
<br />
I've created a username &quot;test1&quot; with md5 authentication and DES encryption set both passwords and it shows up in the snmpv3 users list fine. I then created a new group called &quot;Techs&quot; with read-view, write-view, notify-view permissions with usm and the private key as well, and added the test user to this group. Now everytime I try to gather information on this switch thru my manager I get an error saying that I cant communicate with the agent. I have created the proper vlan, configured proper IP's, configured both username and passwords for the authentication and the encryption in the manager software and enabled the snmp service on my &nbsp;manager pc. Is there anything else that I need to do besides creating the account group?? do I need to define the mib view? for the group? or should it authenticate and gather information on the standard MIB...any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.<br />
<br />
Also any suggestions on which manager is easy to use..I'm using PRTG Network Monitor...

SNMP V3 on Extreme 200 switch Os 7.8

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.

Productivity software is application software dedicated to producing information, such as documents, presentations, worksheets, databases, charts, graphs, digital paintings, electronic music and digital video. Most common programs and suites such as Microsoft Office and LibreOffice have their own topics. Office suites, which brought word processing, spreadsheet, and relational database programs to the desktop in the 1980s, are the core example of productivity software, but they can include communications software, personal information managers, groupware and log analysis software.
