Community Strings for SNMPV1 and SNMPV2

Description

An SNMP community string is a text string that acts as a password, and is used to authenticate messages sent between the VC and the SNMP agent.

If you are using SNMPv3 to obtain values from the AP, you can configure the following parameters:

Name

A string representing the name of the user.

 

 

Authentication Protocol

An indication of messages sent on behalf of this user can be

 

authenticated, and if so, the type of authentication protocol used.

 

Specify one of the following values:

 

• MD5— HMAC-MD5-96 Digest Authentication Protocol

 

• SHA: HMAC-SHA-96 Digest Authentication Protocol

 

 

Authentication protocol

If messages sent on behalf of this user can be authenticated, the

password

(private) authentication key is used with the authentication protocol.

 

This is a string password for MD5 or SHA depending on the choice

 

above.

 

 

Privacy protocol

An indication of messages sent on behalf of this user can be

 

protected from disclosure, and if yes, the type of privacy protocol

 

which is used. This takes the value DES (CBC-DES Symmetric

 

Encryption).

 

 

Privacy protocol password

If messages sent on behalf of this user can be encrypted/decrypted

 

with DES, the (private) privacy key is used with the privacy protocol.
