Setting Description
Read-Only Community Specifies the SNMP community string for your
system. For security reasons, don’t use the default
community string (public).
Note: Polycom doesn’t support SNMP write
operations for configuring or provisioning systems.
The community string is for read operations and
outgoing SNMP traps.
Contact Name Specifies the name of the person responsible for
remotely managing the system.
Location Name Specifies the system location.
System Description Provides details about the system.
User Name Specifies the User Security Model (USM) account
name for SNMPv3 message transactions. The
maximum length is 64 characters.
Authentication Algorithm Specifies the type of SNMPv3 authentication
algorithm used.
▪ SHA
▪ MD5
Authentication Password Specifies the SNMPv3 authentication password.
The maximum length is 48 characters.
Privacy Algorithm Specifies the cryptographic privacy algorithm for
SNMPv3 packets.
▪ CFB-AES128
▪ CBC-DES
Privacy Password Specifies the SNMPv3 privacy (encryption)
password. The maximum length is 48 characters.
Engine ID Specifies the unique ID of the SNMPv3 engine. You
might need this information to match the
configuration of an SNMP console application. The
ID is automatically generated, but you can create
your own as long as it is between 10 and 32
hexadecimal digits. You can separate each group
of two hex digits by a colon (:) to form a full 8-bit
value. A single hex digit delimited on each side with
a colon is equivalent to the same hex digit with a
leading zero (for example, :F: is equivalent to :
0f:).
The ID can’t be all zeros or Fs.
Listening Port Specifies the port SNMP uses to listen for system
messages (the default is port 161).
