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.
