17.6 SNMP Security
17.6.1 SNMP v1 Security
SNMP version 1 utilizes the community name for authentication. If the SNMP manager/client
sends a request message containing the community name that doesn’t match the community name
set in the SNMP Agent, the SNMP agent will respond with the authentication failure message. This
community name is not encrypted during transmission.
17.6.2 SNMP v3 Security - Authentication Protocol and Privacy
Protocol
The CMM supports the highest security level for SNMP v3. MD5 is used for the authentication
protocol in the CMM. The DES is used for the privacy protocol in the CMM. When in this mode,
the user needs to specify each password (authKey, privKey) for these protocols. The SNMP v3
packet is securely encrypted during the transmission. This is the default security level of the CMM
when configured for SNMP v3.
The following fields are defined to handle all SNMP v3 security levels:
