Notification host – An SNMP entity to which notifications (traps and informs) are to be sent
Notify view – A view name (not to exceed 64 characters) for each group that defines the list of
notifications that can be sent to each user in the group
Privacy – An encrypted state of the contents of an SNMP packet where they are prevented from
being disclosed on a network. Encryption is performed with an algorithm called CBC-DES (DES-
56)
Read view – A view name (not to exceed 64 characters) for each group that defines the list of
object identifiers (OIDs) that are accessible for reading by users belonging to the group
Security level – A type of security algorithm performed on each SNMP packet. The three levels
are: noauth, auth, and priv. noauth authenticates a packet by a string match of the user name. auth
authenticates a packet by using either the HMAC MD5 algorithms. priv authenticates a packet by
using either the HMAC MD5 algorithms and encrypts the packet using the CBC-DES (DES-56)
algorithm
Security model – The security strategy used by the SNMP agent. Currently, MNS-6K supports
three security models: SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3
Traps
The traps supported by MNS-6K are as follows:
SNMP Traps: Warm Start, Cold Start, Link Up, Link Down, Authentication Failure.
RMON Traps: Rising Alarm, Falling Alarm for RMON groups 1, 2, 3, and 9 (Statistics, Events,
Alarms, and History)
Enterprise Traps: Intruder, S-Ring and LLL
Standards
There are several RFC’s defining SNMP. MNS-6K supports the following RFC’s and standards
SNMPv1 standards
• Security via configuration of SNMP communities
• Event reporting via SNMP
• Managing the switch with an SNMP network management tool Supported Standard MIBs
include:
• SNMP MIB-II (RFC 1213)
• Bridge MIB (RFC 1493) (ifGeneralGroup, ifRcvAddressGroup, ifStackGroup)
