• Version: This parameter determines which SNMP Version the TSM/RSM will
respond to. For example, if this item is set to V3, then clients who attempt to
contact the TSM/RSM using SNMPv2 will not be allowed to connect.
(Default = V1/V2 Only)
• ReadOnly: Enables/Disables the "Read Only Mode", which controls the ability to
access configuration functions and invoke switching commands. When Enabled,
you will not be able to change configuration parameters or invoke other commands
when you contact the TSM/RSM via SNMP. (Default = No)

2. Auth/Priv: An SNMPv3 username and password will be required at log in, and
all messages will be sent using encryption.
