Version
SNMPv2c
SNMPv3
If you plan to build a network, choose an SNMP version based on your usage scenario. If you
plan to expand or upgrade an existing network, choose an SNMP version to match the SNMP
version running on the NM station to ensure the communication between managed devices and
the NM station.
3.2 Configuring a Device to Communicate with an NM
Station by Running SNMPv1
After SNMPv1 is configured, a managed device and an NM station can run SNMPv1 to
communicate with each other. To ensure communication, you need to configure the agent and
NM station. This section describes the configuration on a managed device (the agent side). For
details about configuration on an NM station, see the pertaining NM station operation guide.
Applicable Environment
SNMP has to be deployed in a network to allow the NMS to manage network devices.
If the network is secure and has few devices (for example, a campus network or a small enterprise
network), then SNMPv1 can be deployed to ensure communication between the NMS and
managed devices.
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring a device to communicate with an NM station by running SNMPv1, configure
a routing protocol to ensure that at least one route exist between router and NM station.

Usage Scenario
This version is applicable to medium and
large-scale networks whose security
requirements are not strict or whose security
is good (for example, VPNs) but whose
services are so busy that traffic congestion
may occur.
Use inform to ensure the messages sent from
managed devices are received by the NM
station.
This version is applicable to networks of
various scales, especially the networks that
have strict requirements on security and can
be managed only by authorized
administrators. For example, data between
the NM station and managed device needs to
be transmitted over a public network.
