Configure SNMPV3
Overview The Mercury transceiver supports SNMP protocol version 3. Version 3
brings a higher level of security to SNMP transactions by requiring user
account name and password authentication as well as encryption of
SNMP packets. The following section describes how SNMPv3 is
implemented on the transceiver and how to configure it for integration
with PulseNET and other network management system software.
SNMPV3 SUPPORT The updated SNMP Agent now supports SNMP version 3 (SNMPv3).
The SNMPv3 protocol introduces Authentication (MD5/SHA-1),
Encryption (DES), the USM User Table, and View-Based Access (refer
to RFC2574 for full details). The SNMP Agent has limited SNMPv3
support in the following areas:
• Only MD5 Authentication is supported (no SHA-1). SNMPv3
provides support for MD5 and SHA-1.
