Configuring the SNMP Agent
The SNMP Agent sets up SNMP on the CDS. SNMP management features on the servers include:
• SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3
• Standard MIBs
SNMPv3 adds support for user-password-based authentication and access control. SNMPv3 also
optionally allows encryption of all SNMP communications, including objects contained in a response to
a GET or inside traps (notifications or INFORMs).
While SNMPv3 provides multiple ways of implementing authentication, access control, and encryption,
the TV CDS software has the following implementation:
• User-Based Security Model
• View-Based Access Control Model
For more information about SNMP on the CDS, see Appendix D, “SNMP MIB and Trap Information.”
User-Based Security Model
The User-based Security Model (USM), which provides SNMP message-level security, is implemented
as follows:
• Users are created (configured) in the SNMP agent on a CDS server through the CDSM GUI, as well
as on the Network Management Station (NMS).
• Password-based authentication is optional, and if enabled, the user must have an associated
authentication key (password) of a minimum length of eight characters, and an authentication
protocol of either HMAC-MD5 or HMAC-SHA1.
• Encryption is optional, if enabled, an encryption key (a minimum of eight characters) is required,
and an encryption protocol of DES or AES.
Gateway IP address of the next hop (primary datagram transmitter and receiver) along the route
to the network.
Route Type From the Route Type drop-down list, choose one of the following route types:
• CServer Source—Used to configure a subnet and default gateway for a group of
stream, cache, or stream/cache interfaces on this server.
• CServer Destination—Used to configure a default gateway for a specified
destination subnetwork. Typically this is used to configure the default gateway to
reach the QAM devices.
• Stream Control— Used when configuring a subnet route for the stream control
traffic. This option is available only on Streamers, and is available only when one
of the interfaces on the Streamer is configured as a Stream Control interface. See
the “Configuring the Interfaces” section on page 4-109 for more information.
