Installation Manual

SNMPv3 authentication
iLO 4 1.20 or later supports SNMPv3 authentication when you use the Agentless Management
configuration.
The following security features of SNMPv3 enable secure data collection from SNMP agents:
• Message integrity prevents tampering during packet transmission.
• Encryption prevents packet snooping.
• Authentication ensures that packets are from a valid source.
By default, SNMPv3 supports the User-based Security Model. With this model, security parameters
are configured at both the agent level and the manager level. Messages exchanged between
the agent and the manager are subject to a data integrity check and data origin authentication.
iLO supports three user profiles in which you can set the SNMPv3 USM parameters.
