![]() ![]() SNMPv2C includes a bulk retrieval mechanism and more detailed error message reporting to management stations. The community of managers able to access the agent’s MIB is defined by an IP address access control list and password. – Encryption-mixing the contents of a package to prevent it from being read by an unauthorized source.īoth SNMPv1 and SNMPv2C use a community-based form of security. – Authentication-determining that the message is from a valid source – Message integrity-ensuring that a packet was not tampered with in transit SNMPv3 provides secure access to devices by authenticating and encrypting packets over the network and includes these security features: ■ SNMPv3-Version 3 of the SNMP is an interoperable standards-based protocol defined in RFCs 2273 to 2275. – SNMPv2C-The community-string-based Administrative Framework for SNMPv2, an Experimental Internet Protocol defined in RFC 1901. – SNMPv2-Version 2 of the Simple Network Management Protocol, a Draft Internet Standard, defined in RFCs 1902 through 1907. ■ SNMPv2C replaces the Party-based Administrative and Security Framework of SNMPv2Classic with the community-string-based Administrative Framework of SNMPv2C while retaining the bulk retrieval and improved error handling of SNMPv2Classic. ■ SNMPv1-The Simple Network Management Protocol, a Full Internet Standard, defined in RFC 1157. This software release supports these SNMP versions: ![]() These sections contain this conceptual information: Traps can mean improper user authentication, restarts, link status (up or down), MAC address tracking, closing of a TCP connection, loss of connection to a neighbor, or other significant events. Traps are messages alerting the SNMP manager to a condition on the network. The agent can also respond to a manager’s requests to get or set data.Īn agent can send unsolicited traps to the manager. The agent gathers data from the MIB, the repository for information about device parameters and network data. A manager can get a value from an agent or store a value into the agent. The SNMP agent contains MIB variables whose values the SNMP manager can request or change. To configure SNMP on the router, you define the relationship between the manager and the agent. The SNMP manager can be part of a network management system (NMS) such as CiscoWorks. ![]() The SNMP system consists of an SNMP manager, an SNMP agent, and a MIB. SNMP is an application-layer protocol that provides a message format for communication between managers and agents. ■ Displaying SNMP Status Understanding SNMP This chapter describes how to configure the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) on the Cisco 910 Industrial Routers ( hereafter referred to as the router). ![]()
