3.10.6 SNMP
SNMP is a standard TCP/IP protocol for network management. Network administrators use SNMP to monitor and
map network availability, performance, and error rates. System management software uses SNMP to allow
administrators to remotely monitor and manage thousands of systems on a network, often by presenting the data
gathered from monitored devices in a snapshot or dashboard view. WoMaster’ Router support SNMP V2c and V3

SNMPv2C
SNMPv2c is a sub-version of SNMPv2. Its key advantage over previous versions is the Inform command. Unlike
Traps
,
which are simply received by a manager, Informs are positively acknowledged with a response message. If a
manager does not reply to an Inform, the SNMP agent will resend the Inform.
SNMP V3
SNMPv3 is the newest version of SNMP. Its primary feature is enhanced security.
SNMPv3 security comes primarily in 2 forms:
Authentication
is used to ensure that traps are read by only the intended recipient.
Privacy
encrypts the payload of the SNMP message to ensure that it cannot be read by unauthorized users.
