Configuring SNMP & RMON SNMP Overview 1 SNMP Overview SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a standard network management protocol, widely used on TCP/IP networks. It facilitates device management using NMS (Network Management System) software. With SNMP, network managers can view or modify network device information, and troubleshoot according to notifications sent by those devices in a timely manner. The device supports three SNMP versions: SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3.Table 1-1 lists features supported by different SNMP versions, and Table 1-2 shows corresponding application scenarios. Table 1-1 Features Supported by Different SNMP Versions Feature SNMPv1 SNMPv2c SNMPv3 Access Control Based on SNMP Community and MIB View Based on SNMP Community and MIB View Based on SNMP User, Group, and MIB View Authentication Based on Community and Privacy Name Based on Community Name Supported authentication and privacy modes are as follows: Authentication: MD5/SHA Privacy: DES Trap Supported Supported Supported Inform Not supported Supported Supported Table 1-2 Application Scenarios of Different Versions Version Application Scenario SNMPv1 Applicable to small-scale networks with simple networking, low security requirements or good stability (such as campus networks and small enterprise networks). SNMPv2c Applicable to medium and large-scale networks with low security requirements and those with good security (such as VPNs), but with busy services in which the traffic congestion may occur. You can configure Inform to ensure that the notifications from managed devices are received by network managers. SNMPv3 Applicable to networks of various scales, particularly those that have high security requirements and require devices to be managed by authenticated administrators (such as when data needs to be transferred on public networks).
