Connection to the SNMP agent

Community
Page 312/448
Name of the user allowed to send traps on the management station.
NOTE
When the server's ID below has not been entered (engineID), this user name
(securityName) has to be the same as the name used for logging on to the
SNMP agent.
Hexadecimal string created by the management station in order to give the user a
unique identification such as 0x0011223344. The engine ID has to be made up of a
minimum of 5 bytes and a maximum of 32 bytes.
NOTE
If this field is empty, the SNMP agent has to be configured to receive an
identifier that changes as it will be automatically generated each time the
service starts.
Several levels of security are available for the version of the SNMP protocol:
None: no security. The sections "Security Level: authentication" and "Security level:
l
Encryption" are grayed out.
Authentication, no encryption: authentication of traps without encryption.
l
Authentication and encryption : if the encryption password is not defined, the
l
authentication password will be used for encryption.
User's password
Two authentication methods are available, MD5 (hash algorithm that calculates a 128-
bit digest) and SHA1 (hash algorithm that calculates a 160-bit digest). By default MD5
will be used for authentication.
SNMP packets are encrypted in DES or AES, and an encryption key can be defined. By
default the authentication key will be used.
Warning
You are strongly advised to use a specific key.
The two encryption methods possible are DES and AES. By default AES is used for
encryption.
The first versions of the SNMP protocol are not secured. The only field necessary is the
community name. By default VPN suggests the name "public".
Warning
We advise against using it for security reasons.
If you wish to indicate several communities, separate them with commas.
