CAUTION:
On S8700 Media Servers, you must administer an SNMP agent exactly the same way in
two places — on both the active and duplicated media servers.
If you decide to use SNMP Version 3, there are three levels of security provided.
1
The user name with no password provides the same level of security as SNMP Version 1 and
Version 2c.
2
The Authentication Password field provides an enhanced level of security.
3
The Privacy Password provides an additional level of security.
