SNMP AGENT
The screen for configuring the SNMP service consists of three tabs:
l General: tab that is displayed by default when users click on the SNMP menu in the directory
on the left and which allows enabling the module and alarm and system notifications which
will be integrated into the available(lookup and sending of traps).
l SNMPv3: Recommended version as it is equipped with more secure tools (security tools
such as authentication, encryption, timing control, etc.).
l SNMPv1 – SNMPv2c: Version for which the SNMP request contains a name called
“Community”, which is used as an ID and transmitted over the network in plaintext.
“General” tab
This tab allows configuring the system, meaning the host and its administrator. It contains
notifications (alarms and system events) which will be integrated into the available MIBs.
The option Enable the agent allows enabling the module. It is however possible to configure the
data for this screen even if the module has not been enabled.
SNMPv3
(recommended)
Enables version 3 of SNMP, the recommended version as it is equipped with more
secure tools (security tools such as authentication, encryption, timing control, etc.)
Since December 2002, a new standard has been introduced for SNMP, providing a
significant advance in security. The configuration requires the following parameters:
SNMPv3 offers authentication and encryption methods and resolves certain security
issues from earlier versions.
SNMPv1/v2c Enables versions v1/v2C of SNMP. V1 is the first version of the protocol. The only check
made by this version concerns the “Community” character string. Version v2C is a
version that improves the types of operations in SNMPv2p and uses “community”
character string security from SNMPv1.
SNMPv1/v2c et
SNMPv3
Enables all three versions of SNMP.
