8.9 SNMP version 3 (SNMPv3)
Simple Network Management Protocol Version 3 (SNMPv3) is an interoperable standards-based
protocol for network management. SNMPv3 provides secure access to devices by a combination of
authenticating and encrypting packets over the network. The security features provided in SNMPv3
are:
• Message integrity---Ensuring that a packet has not been tampered with in-transit.
• Authentication---Determining the message is from a valid source.
• Encryption---Scrambling the contents of a packet prevent it from being seen by an unauthorized
source.
SNMPv3 provides for both security models and security levels. A security model is an authentication
strategy that is set up for a user and the group in which the user resides. A security level is the
permitted level of security within a security model. A combination of a security model and a security
level will determine which security mechanism is employed when handling an SNMP packet. Three
security models are available: SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3. Table below identify what the
combinations of security models and levels mean:
