Table 20 SNMP Parameters for IAP Field Description Community Strings for SNMPV1 and SNMPV2 An SNMP Community string is a text string that acts as a password, and is used to authenticate messages sent between the Virtual Controller and the SNMP agent. If you are using SNMPv3 to obtain values from the Dell Instant, you can configure the following parameters: Name A string representing the name of the user. Authentication Protocol An indication of whether messages sent on behalf of this user can be authenticated, and if so, the type of authentication protocol used. This can take one of the two values:  MD5: HMAC-MD5-96 Digest Authentication Protocol  SHA: HMAC-SHA-96 Digest Authentication Protocol Authentication protocol password If messages sent on behalf of this user can be authenticated, the (private) authentication key for use with the authentication protocol. This is a string password for MD5 or SHA depending on the choice above. Privacy protocol An indication of whether messages sent on behalf of this user can be protected from disclosure, and if so, 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 for use with the privacy protocol.

Name
A string representing the name of the user.
Authentication Protocol
An indication of whether messages sent on behalf of this user can be
authenticated, and if so, the type of authentication protocol used. This can
take one of the two values:
MD5: HMAC-MD5-96 Digest Authentication Protocol
SHA: HMAC-SHA-96 Digest Authentication Protocol
Authentication protocol password
If messages sent on behalf of this user can be authenticated, the (private)
authentication key for use with the authentication protocol. This is a string
password for MD5 or SHA depending on the choice above.
Privacy protocol
An indication of whether messages sent on behalf of this user can be
protected from disclosure, and if so, 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 for use with the privacy protocol.
