Defining The Engine Id - NETGEAR ProSafe GS700TP Software User Manual

GS700TP Smart Switch Software User Manual
The SNMP agents maintain a list of variables that are used to manage the device. The variables are defined
in the Management Information Base (MIB). The SNMP agent defines the MIB specification format, as well
as the format used to access the information over the network. Access strings control access rights to the
SNMP agents.
SNMP v3 applies access control and a new traps mechanism. In addition, User Security Model (USM)
parameters are defined for SNMPv3, including:
• Authentication – Provides data integrity and data origin authentication.
• Privacy – Protects against the disclosure of message content. Cipher Block-Chaining (CBC) is used for
encryption. Either authentication is enabled on an SNMP message, or both authentication and privacy
are enabled on an SNMP message. However, privacy cannot be enabled without authentication.
• Timeliness – Protects against message delay or message redundancy. The SNMP agent compares the
incoming message to the message time information.
• Key Management – Defines key generation, key updates, and key use.
The device supports SNMP notification filters based on Object IDs (OIDs). OIDs are used by the system to
manage device features.
SNMP v3 supports the following features:
• Security
• Feature Access Control
• Traps
The device generates copy traps.
