Version
The principal SNMP protocol versions including,
SNMPv1: This is the initial version of SNMP.
SNMPv2: This version uses a community-based form of
security, just like SNMPv1, replacing the Party-based
Administrative and Security Framework of SNMPv2.
SNMPv3: This is an interoperable standards-based protocol
defined in RFC2273, 2274, and 2275. It provides secure
access to devices by authenticating and encrypting packets
over the network. Due to the security vulnerabilities of other
versions of SNMP, it is recommended to use SNMPv3.
Type
SNMP Agent devices translate information into a format that
can be interpreted by the SNMP manager. The notifications
are to the SNMP manager, and are called Trap notifications
or Inform requests.
- Trap: The notifications are sent by the SNMP agent device
when a specific parameter is reached by the device and the
trap messages can be improper user authentication, CPU
usage, link status, and other significant events. This helps the
administrator address network issues.
- Inform: Inform is only available on SNMPv2 and v3.
