SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides a method for managing network
devices. The device supports the following SNMP versions:
• SNMP v1 and v2c
•SNMP version 3
The SNMP agents maintain a list of variables that are used to manage the device. The variables are
defined in the Management Information Base (MIB). The SNMP agent defines the MIB
specification format, as well as the format used to access the information over the network. Access
strings control access rights to the SNMP agents. SNMP v3 applies access control and a new traps
mechanism. In addition, User Security Model (USM) parameters are defined for SNMPv3,
including:
• Authentication – Provides data integrity and data origin authentication.
