Planning for SNMPv3 operation

SNMP security mode
Decide how SNMPv3 security will be configured.
MIB-based security management uses standard SNMPv3 MIBs to configure the user-
based security model and the view-based access control model. This approach provides
considerable flexibility, allowing a network operator to tailor views and security levels
appropriate for different types of user. MIB-based security management may allow a
network operator to take advantage of built-in security management capabilities of
existing network managers.
Web-based security management allows an operator to configure users, security
levels, privacy and authentication protocols, and passphrases using the PTP 600 web-
based management interface. The capabilities supported are somewhat less flexible
than those supported using the MIB-based security management, but will be sufficient
in many applications. Selection of web-based management for SNMPv3 security
disables the MIB-based security management. PTP 600 does not support concurrent
use of MIB-based and web-based management of SNMPv3 security.
