Enabling SNMP Versions

The library supports SNMP v1, v2c, and v3.
Administrators can enable or disable support for SNMP v1 and v2c. The

recommended practice is to disable SNMP v1 and SNMP v2c in highly

secure environments.
SNMP v3 is always enabled and cannot be disabled. The authentication

algorithm is set to MD5, and the encryption is disabled system-wide.
See the Dell PowerVault ML6000 Basic SNMP Reference Guide for further

configuration and access details.

Note:

This operation should not be performed concurrently by

multiple administrators logged in from different locations.

You can access the appropriate screens, but you cannot apply

changes while another administrator is performing the same

operation.
