4.10.2 SNMP V3 Profile
SNMP v3 can provide more security functions when the user performs remote
management through SNMP protocol. It delivers SNMP information to the
administrator with user authentication; all of data between PMI Switch and the
administrator are encrypted to ensure secure communication.
Security Level: Here the user can select the following levels of security: None,
User Authentication, and Authentication with privacy.
Authentication Protocol: Here the user can select either MD5 (Message‐Digest
algorithm 5) or SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm). MD5 is a widely used cryptographic
hash function with a 128‐bit hash value. SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm) hash
functions refer to five Federal Information Processing Standard‐approved
algorithms for computing a condensed digital representation. PMI Managed
Switch provides 2 user authentication protocols in MD5 and SHA. You will need to
configure SNMP v3 parameters for your SNMP tool with the same authentication
method.
