Chapter 29 Configuring SNMP
Understanding SNMP
identifies the characteristics of the different combinations of security models and levels.
You must configure the SNMP agent to use the SNMP version supported by the management station.
Because an agent can communicate with multiple managers, you can configure the software to support
communications using SNMPv1, SNMPv2C, or SNMPv3.
SNMP Manager Functions
The SNMP manager uses information in the MIB to perform the operations described in
.

SNMP Security Models and Levels
Model
Level
Authentication
Encryption
Result
SNMPv1
noAuthNoPriv
Community string
No
Uses a community string match for authentication.
SNMPv2C
noAuthNoPriv
Community string
No
Uses a community string match for authentication.
SNMPv3
noAuthNoPriv
Username
No
Uses a username match for authentication.
SNMPv3
authNoPriv
Message Digest 5
(MD5) or Secure
Hash Algorithm
(SHA)
No
Provides authentication based on the HMAC-MD5
or HMAC-SHA algorithms.
SNMPv3
authPriv
(requires the
cryptographic software
image)
MD5 or SHA
Data
Encryption
Standard
(DES) or
Advanced
Encryption
Standard
(AES)
Provides authentication based on the HMAC-MD5
or HMAC-SHA algorithms.
Allows specifying the User-based Security Model
(USM) with these encryption algorithms:
•
DES 56-bit encryption in addition to
authentication based on the CBC-DES
(DES-56) standard.
•
3DES 168-bit encryption
•
AES 128-bit, 192-bit, or 256-bit encryption

SNMP Operations
Operation
Description
get-request
Retrieves a value from a specific variable.
get-next-request
Retrieves a value from a variable within a table.
1
1.
With this operation, an SNMP manager does not need to know the exact variable name. A sequential search is performed to
find the needed variable from within a table.
get-bulk-request
2
2.
The
get-bulk
command only works with SNMPv2 or later.
Retrieves large blocks of data, such as multiple rows in a table, that would
otherwise require the transmission of many small blocks of data.
get-response
Replies to a get-request, get-next-request, and set-request sent by an NMS.
set-request
Stores a value in a specific variable.
trap
An unsolicited message sent by an SNMP agent to an SNMP manager when some
event has occurred.
