How to Configure SNMP
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) has become the
standard protocol for the administration and monitoring of network
elements. The protocol controls communication between the moni-
tored devices and the monitoring station.
SNMP allows you to read and edit management information pro-
vided by the network elements (e.g. UTN server). The UTN server sup-
ports versions 1 and 3 of SNMP.
SNMPv1
The SNMP community is a basic form of access protection. A large
number of SNMP managers are grouped together in the community.
The community is then assigned (read/write) access rights. The gen-
eral community string is 'public'.
The community string for SNMPv1 is transferred in plain text and
does not provide sufficient protection.
SNMPv3
SNMPv3 is a continuation of the SNMP standard, which provides
improved applications and a user-based security model. Distinguish-
ing features of SNMPv3 include its simplicity and security concept.
For SNMPv3 a name and password for the SNMP user have to be
defined. The user accounts used for this are those that are used for
the myUTN Control Center access; see:
