Configuring SNMP

Managed devices support versions 1, 2c, and 3 of SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol. SNMP is a TCP/IP standard protocol for managing devices on IP networks. Devices that typically support SNMP include routers, switches, servers, workstations, printers, modem racks, and more. It is used mostly in network management systems to monitor network-attached devices for conditions that warrant administrative attention.  for reporting purposes only. In other words, SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol. SNMP is a TCP/IP standard protocol for managing devices on IP networks. Devices that typically support SNMP include routers, switches, servers, workstations, printers, modem racks, and more. It is used mostly in network management systems to monitor network-attached devices for conditions that warrant administrative attention.  cannot be used for setting values in a system in the current ArubaOS version.

Trap receivers

Host information about a trap receiver. This host needs to be running a trap receiver to receive and interpret the traps sent by the managed device. Configure the following for each host or trap receiver:

Security string

UDP User Datagram Protocol. UDP is a part of the TCP/IP family of protocols used for data transfer. UDP is typically used for streaming media. UDP is a stateless protocol, which means it does not acknowledge that the packets being sent have been received. port on which the trap receiver is listening for traps. The default is the UDP User Datagram Protocol. UDP is a part of the TCP/IP family of protocols used for data transfer. UDP is typically used for streaming media. UDP is a stateless protocol, which means it does not acknowledge that the packets being sent have been received. port number 162. This is optional, and will use the default port number if not modified by the user.

If you are using SNMPv3 Simple Network Management Protocol version 3. SNMPv3 is an enhanced version of SNMP that includes security and remote configuration features. to obtain values from the managed device, you can configure the following parameters:

User 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:

MD5 Message Digest 5. The MD5 algorithm is a widely used hash function producing a 128-bit hash value from the data input. : HMAC-MD5 Message Digest 5. The MD5 algorithm is a widely used hash function producing a 128-bit hash value from the data input. -96 Digest Authentication Protocol

SHA Secure Hash Algorithm. SHA is a family of cryptographic hash functions. The SHA algorithm includes the SHA, SHA-1, SHA-2 and SHA-3 variants. : HMAC-SHA Secure Hash Algorithm. SHA is a family of cryptographic hash functions. The SHA algorithm includes the SHA, SHA-1, SHA-2 and SHA-3 variants. -96 Digest Authentication Protocol

Authentication protocol password

If messages sent on behalf of this user can be authenticated, the (private) authentication key for use with the authentication protocol. This is a string password for MD5 Message Digest 5. The MD5 algorithm is a widely used hash function producing a 128-bit hash value from the data input. or SHA Secure Hash Algorithm. SHA is a family of cryptographic hash functions. The SHA algorithm includes the SHA, SHA-1, SHA-2 and SHA-3 variants. depending on the choice above.

Privacy protocol

An indication of whether messages sent on behalf of this user can be protected from disclosure, and if so, the type of privacy protocol which is used. This takes the value DES Data Encryption Standard. DES is a common standard for data encryption and a form of secret key cryptography, which uses only one key for encryption and decryption. (CBC-DES Data Encryption Standard. DES is a common standard for data encryption and a form of secret key cryptography, which uses only one key for encryption and decryption. Symmetric Encryption Protocol).

Privacy protocol password

If messages sent on behalf of this user can be encrypted or decrypted with DES Data Encryption Standard. DES is a common standard for data encryption and a form of secret key cryptography, which uses only one key for encryption and decryption., the (private) privacy key for use with the privacy protocol.
