• SNMPv2c: SNMP version 2c has the same features as v1 with some additional commands. SNMPv2c will

congure the router to use settings and data formatting compatible with SNMP version 2c.

• SNMPv3: SNMP version 3 includes all prior features with security available. SNMPv3 is the most secure

setting for SNMP. If you wish to congure traps then you must use SNMP version 3.

SNMP v1 & v2c Settings

• Get community string: The “Get community string” is used to read SNMP information from the router. This

string is like a password that is transmitted in regular text with no protection.

• Set community string: The “Set community string” is used when writing SNMP settings to the router. This

string is like a password. It is a good idea to make it dierent than the “Get community string.”

SNMPv3

If you select SNMPv3, you have several additional conguration options for added security.

the router from the following dropdown list. These settings must match the conguration used on any
