SNMP User Security Model Fields (Continued)
Field
Description
Group Name
An SNMP group is a group to which hosts running the SNMP service belong. A group name parameter
is simply the name of that group by which SNMP communities are identified. The use of a group name
provides some security and context for agents receiving requests and initiating traps and does the
same for management systems and their tasks. An SNMP agent won’t respond to a request from a
management system outside its configured group, but an agent can be a member of multiple groups
at the same time. This allows for communications with SNMP managers from different groups.
Authentication Method
Specifies the authentication protocol to be used on authenticated messages on behalf of the specified user.
•
SHA
SHA protocol will be used.
•
MD5
MD5 protocol will be used.
•
None
No authentication will be used for this user.
Password
Specifies the password used to generate the key to be used in authenticating messages on behalf of
this user. This parameter must be specified if the
Authentication Method
parameter is not set to
None
.
Privacy
Specifies the privacy protocol to be used on encrypted messages on behalf of the specified user. This
parameter is only valid if the
Authentication Method
parameter is not set to
None
.
•
DES
DES protocol will be used.
•
None
No privacy protocol will be used.
Authentication Key
Specifies the password used to generate the key to be used in encrypting messages to and from this
user. This parameter must be specified if the
Privacy
parameter is not set to
None
.

SNMP Trap Source Interface Configuration
Use this page to specify the physical or logical interface to use as the SNMP client source interface. When an
IP address is configured on the source interface, this address is used for all SNMP communications between
the local SNMP client and the remote SNMP server. The IP address of the designated source interface is used
in the IP header of SNMP management protocol packets. This allows security devices, such as firewalls, to
identify all source packets coming from a specific device.
