SNMP must be changed from default settings and must be configured on the storage system to provide alerts of critical events that impact system security.


Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-70493 HP3P-32-001300 SV-85115r1_rule Medium
Description
Whether active or not, default SNMP passwords, users, and passphrases must be changed to maintain security. If the service is running with the default authenticators, anyone can gather data about the system and the network(s) and use the information to potentially compromise the integrity of the system or network(s). The product must be configured to alert administrators when events occur that may impact system operation or security. The alerting mechanism must support secured options and configurations that can be audited. Satisfies: SRG-OS-000046-GPOS-00022, SRG-OS-000480-GPOS-00227, SRG-OS-000344-GPOS-00135

Check Text ( C-70893r1_chk )
Verify a SNMPv3 user account is configured. Run the following command:

cli% showsnmpuser
Username | AuthProtocol | PrivProtocol
3parsnmpuser | HMAC SHA 96 | CFB128 AES 128

If the output is not displayed in the above format, this is a finding.

Identify the SNMP trap recipient and report SNMP configuration with the following command:

cli% showsnmpmgr
HostIP | Port | SNMPVersion | User
| 162 | 3 | 3parsnmpuser

If the SNMP trap recipient IP address is incorrect, this is a finding.
If the SNMP port is not "162", this is a finding.
If the SNMP version is not "3", this is a finding.
If the SNMP user ID is incorrect, this is a finding.

Generate a test trap:
cli% checksnmp

Trap sent to the following managers:
< IP address of trap recipient>

If the response does not indicate a trap was successfully sent, this is a finding.

To configure SNMPv3 alert notifications, use this sequence of operations to create and enable an SNMPv3 user, and create associated keys for authentication and privacy:

First, create the "3parsnmpuser" on the host with the following command:

cli% createuser 3parsnmpuser all browse

Enter the password and retype the password to confirm.

Next, create the snmp user and associate that with the "3parsnmpuser" account on the host.

cli% createsnmpuser 3parsnmpuser

Enter the password and retype the password to confirm.

Finally, add the IP address of the SNMPv3 trap recipient, where the permissions of the account are used:

cli% addsnmpmgr -pw -version 3 -snmpuser 3parsnmpuser
