SNMP Parameters for W-IAP
Instant supports SNMPv1, SNMPv2, and SNMPv3 for reporting purposes only. A W-IAP cannot use Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to set values in a Dell system.
You can configure the following parameters for a W-IAP:
Parameter Description
Community Strings for
SNMPV1 and SNMPV2
An SNMP community string is a text string that acts as a
password, and is used to authenticate messages sent between
the VC and the SNMP agent.
If you are using SNMPv3 to obtain values fromthe W-IAP, you can configure the following
parameters:
Name A string representing the name of the user.
Authentication Protocol An indication of whether messages sent on behalf of this user can
be authenticated, and if so, the type of authentication protocol
used. This can take one of the two values:
l MD5—HMAC-MD5-96 Digest Authentication Protocol
l SHA—HMAC-SHA-96 Digest Authentication Protocol
