• 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. 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. Enter the amount of time
the device waits before re-sending informs.
• Key Management – Enter key generation, key updates, and key usage.
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:
