SNMPv3
• The ability for users to manage SNMPv3 devices with SPECTRUM,
including SNMPv3 GET and SET requests, and Traps and Informs, is

management traffic. A new “Model-by-IP” dialog allows the user to
select whether a new device should be managed through SNMPv3, and
if so, provides the user with options to choose the authentication/
encryption level and provide the relevant security parameters. Note
that SPECTRUM AutoDiscovery does not support automated discovery
and modeling of SNMPv3 devices.

the name devicename_config name.txt. This translates to easier
archival of configurations.
• The risk of a customer router staying in an infinite “wait” state and
SPECTRUM Configuration Manager hanging has been removed. By
leveraging a timer to give the device time to respond, reducing the
server load, and adding a counter for “wait” messages, the load will
automatically be stopped when necessary and the error “Router did not
initiate tftp transfer in time” will be presented to the user.
• The performance of SPECTRUM Configuration Manager has been
enhanced when displaying large amounts of data from Host Configs

all trap information. When a trap is received by SPECTRUM for which
