Security Models and Levels for SNMPv1, v2, v3
The security level determines if an SNMP message needs to be protected from disclosure and if the message
needs to be authenticated. The various security levels that exist within a security model are as follows:
•
noAuthNoPriv
—
Security level that does not provide authentication or encryption.
•
authNoPriv
—
Security level that provides authentication but does not provide encryption.
•
authPriv
—
Security level that provides both authentication and encryption.
Three security models are available: SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3. The security model combined with
the security level determine the security mechanism applied when the SNMP message is processed.
