NB3700 User Manual 3.8
SNMP Authentication
When running in SNMPv3, it is possible to configure the following authentication set-
tings:
Parameter SNMPv3 Authentication
Authentication Defines the authentication (MD5 or SHA)
Encryption Defines the privacy protocols to use (DES or AES
In general, the admin user can read and write any values. Read access will be granted
to any other system users.
There is no authentication/encryption in SNMPv1/v2c and should not be used to set
any values. However, it is possible to define its communities and authoritive host which
will be granted administrative access.
Parameter SNMPv1/v2c Authentication
Read community Defines the community name for read access
Admin community Defines the community name for admin access
Allowed host Defines the host which is allowed for admin access
Attention must be paid to the fact that SNMP passwords have to be more than 8
characters long. Shorter passwords will be doubled for SNMP (e.g. admin01 becomes
admin01admin01).
Please note that the SNMP daemon is also listening on WAN interfaces and it is therefore
suggested to restrict the access with the firewall.
