Configuring SNMP & RMON SNMP Configurations
Security Model Choose the SNMP version of the security model. The default is SNMPv1. The
setting should be identical with that of the specified group.
v1: The group’s security model is SNMPv1.
v2c: In this mode, Community Name is used for authentication. You can configure
Community Name on the SNMP Community.
v3: The group’s security model is SNMPv3.
Security Level Set the security level for the SNMPv3 group. The default is noAuthNoPriv.
noAuthNoPriv: No authentication mode or privacy mode is applied to check or
encrypt packets.
authNoPriv: An authentication mode is applied to check packets, but no privacy
mode is applied to encrypt them.
authPriv: An authentication mode and a privacy mode are applied to check and
encrypt packets.
2) If you have chosen authNoPriv or authPriv as the security level, you need to set
corresponding Auth Mode or Privacy Mode. If not, skip the step.
Auth Mode If you have chosen authNoPriv as the security level, you need to set Auth Mode,
which is None by default.
MD5: Enable the HMAC-MD5 algorithm for authentication.
SHA: Enable the SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm) algorithm for authentication. SHA
algorithm is securer than MD5 algorithm.
Auth Password Set the password for authentication.
Privacy Mode If you have chosen authPriv as the security level, you need to set both Auth Mode
and Privacy Mode. The privacy mode is None by default.
DES: Enable the DES (Data Encryption Standard) algorithm for privacy.
Privacy Password Set the password for encryption.
3) Click Create.
2.1.5 Creating SNMP Communities

communities directly.
