HP V1910 Switch Series User Manual

SNMP protocol version
SNMP agents support three SNMP protocol versions: SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3.
 SNMPv1 uses community names for authentication. A community name performs a similar role as
a password to regulate access from the NMS to the agent. If the community name provided by the
NMS is different from the community name set on the agent, the SNMP connection cannot be
established and the NMS fails to access the agent.
 SNMPv2c uses community names for authentication. SNMPv2c is compatible with SNMPv1, but it
provides more operation modes, supports more data types, and provides various error codes for
troubleshooting.
 SNMPv3 offers authentication based on the User-based Security Model (USM), which allows
network administrators to set authentication and privacy functions. The authentication function is
used to authenticate the validity of the sending end of the authentication packets, preventing access
of unauthorized users. The privacy function is used to encrypt packets between the NMS and
agents, preventing the packets from being intercepted. USM ensures more secure communication
between NMSs and agents by providing authentication and privacy functions.
Successful interaction between an NMS and the agents requires consistency of SNMP versions
configured on them.
SNMP configuration
Configuration task list
As configurations for SNMPv3 differ substantially from those for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c, their
configuration tasks are introduced separately as follows.
Configuring SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c
Perform the tasks in Table 40 to configure SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c:
Table 40 SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c configuration task list
Task Remarks
Enabling SNMP
Required
The SNMP agent function is disabled by default.
IMPORTANT:
If SNMP is disabled, all SNMP-related configurations are removed.
Configuring an SNMP
Optional
After creating SNMP views, you can specify an SNMP view for an
SNMP community to limit the MIB objects that can be accessed by the
SNMP community.
Configuring an SNMP Required
Configuring SNMP trap
Optional
Allows you to configure that the agent can send SNMP traps to the
NMS, and configure information about the target host of the SNMP
traps.
By default, an agent is allowed to send SNMP traps to the NMS.
