SNMPv3 Privacy Protocol

SNMPv3 MIB Views

AT-GS950/16PS Switch Web Interface User’s Guide

this configuration for someone with super-user capabilities.

After you have configured an authentication protocol, you have the option of assigning a privacy protocol if you have the encrypted version of the AT-S112 Management software. In SNMPv3 protocol terminology, privacy is equivalent to encryption. Currently, the DES protocol is the only encryption protocol supported. The DES privacy protocol requires the authentication protocol to be configured as either MD5 or SHA.

If you assign a DES privacy protocol to a user, then you are also required to assign a privacy password. If you choose to not assign a privacy value, then SNMPv3 messages are sent in plain text format.

The SNMPv3 protocol allows you to configure MIB views for users and groups. The MIB tree is defined by RFC 1155 (Structure of Management Information). See Figure 69.

Figure 69. MIB Tree

The AT-S112 Management software supports the MIB tree, starting with the Internet MIBs, as defined by 1.3.6.1. There are two ways to specify a MIB view. You can enter the OID number of the MIB view or its equivalent text name. For example, to specify MIBs in the Internet view, you can enter the OID format “1.3.6.1” or the text name “internet.”
