Design Reference

VOSS 4.2 does not support Secure Copy (SCP). For this release, use SFTP to transfer files
securely. For more information, see the section “Security overview” in Security for Avaya
Virtual Services Platform 4000 Series, NN46251-601.
• SNMPv3
VOSS 4.2 updates SNMPv3 to support Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS)
140-2. SNMPv3 supports the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Data Encryption
Standard (DES) encryption options and Message Digest algorithm 5 (MD5), Secure Hash
Algorithm 1 (SHA-1) and SHA-2 authentication types.
If you enable enhanced secure mode, the VSP switch does not support the default SNMPv1
and default SNMPv2 community strings, and default SNMPv3 user name. The individual in the
administrator access level role can configure a non-default value for the community strings,
and the VSP switch can continue to support SNMPv1 and SNMPv2. The individual in the
administrator access level role can also configure a non-default value for the SNMPv3 user
name and the VSP switch can continue to support SNMPv3.
If you disable enhanced secure mode, the SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 support for community
strings remains the same, and the default SNMPv3 user name remains the same. Enhanced
secure mode is disabled by default.
