SNMP v3 security
Simple Network Management Protocol Version 3 (SNMPv3) is an interoperable standards-based protocol
for network management. SNMPv3 provides secure access to devices using a combination of
authenticating and encrypting packets over the network. SNMP v3 security is an additional layer of
security. The SNMP v3 security is available on a secure (SSL) entry switch. The security features provided in
SNMPv3 are:
• Message integrity—Ensuring that a packet has not been tampered with during transit
• Authentication—Determining that the message is from a valid source
• Encryption—Scrambling the contents of a packet to prevent it from being seen by an unauthorized
source
You configure SNMP v3 security in the SNMP v3 Manager dialog box ( Figure 61 ).
