Configuring SNMPv3
SNMPv3 is the current standard version of SNMP defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).
It provides three important security features:
• Message integrity to ensure that a packet has not been tampered with in transit
• Authentication to verify that the message is from a valid source
• Encryption of packets to prevent unauthorized access
Configuring SNMPv1/v2c with SNMPv3
SNMP version 1 (SNMPv1) is the initial implementation of the SNMP protocol. SNMPv1 operates over
protocols such as User Datagram Protocol (UDP), IP, and Novell Internet Packet Exchange (IPX).
SNMPv2c includes improvements in performance, confidentiality, and manager-to-manager
communications over SNMPv1, however it uses the simple-community based security scheme of
SNMPv1.
1. In CentreWare Internet Services, click Properties > Connectivity > Protocols.
2. Click SNMPv3.
3. For Allow SNMPv3 with SNMPv1/v2c, select Enable.
4. For SNMPv3, select Enable.
Note: Some options become editable after you enable SNMPv3.
5. For User Name, type the administrative user name for SNMPv3 authentication.
6. For Authentication Password, type a password. The Authentication Password is used to generate a
key used for authentication.
7. For Algorithm, select an encryption checksum algorithm.
8. For Privacy Password, type a password. The Privacy Password is used for encryption of SNMPv3
data. The passphrase used to encrypt the data must match the passphrase on the Server.
Note: Ensure that the passwords are at least eight characters in length. You can include any
characters except control characters.
9. Click Apply.
