Version

Version of the SNMP standard. The SL500 library supports:

SNMPv2c of the simple network management protocol for

machine status queries. With this version, any information

transmitted is not secure.

SNMPv3 of the simple network management protocol is

reserved for proprietary information. Because this version

supports encryption and stronger user identification it is

the preferred protocol for proprietary data.

Community (v2c

only)

Applications use community strings for access control. The

manager includes the community string in its SNMP

messages to an agent. The agent consequently can accept or

reject the operation. This can be a maximum of 31

alphanumeric characters.

UserName (v3

only)

SNMP user ID.

Auth (v3 only)

Authentication protocol type (MD5 or SHA) string for users

and hosts receiving traps. One of the two primary SNMPv3

security protocols designed to reliably identify the integrity

of the originating party.

AuthPass (v3

only)

Authentication password of the user.

Priv (v3 only)

Privacy protocol type (DES or AES): The other two primary

SNMPv3 security protocols are designed to protect

information within the message from disclosure.

PrivPass (v3 only)

Encryption Password that is the private key for encryption.
