Trap/Inform Specifies the type of information that should be sent
to the host receiver. Possible values are:
• Inform—An unsolicited message sent to a
notification receiver that expects/requires a
confirmation message. Introduced with SNMP
version 2c, this option is not supported by
systems that only support SNMP version 1.
• Trap—An unsolicited message sent to a
notification receiver that does not expect/require
a confirmation message.
SNMP Version For SNMPv3, specifies the context for the
information.
The CMA system is a proxy-forwarding application. It
passes SNMP requests to its various
SNMP-reporting processes based on the context
information in the SNMP message. For SNMPv3,
this context is identified by
contextName and
contextEngineID .
V3 Local Engine Id For SNMPv3, displays the CMA system
contextEngineID for SNMPv3.
Security User For SNMPv3, specifies the security name required to
access a monitored MIB object.
Auth Type For SNMPv3, specifies the authentication protocol.
The CMA system implements communication with
authentication and privacy (the
authPriv security
level as defined in the USM MIB).
Possible values for authentication protocol are:
• MD5
• SHA
These protocols are used to create unique
fixed-sized message digests of a variable length
message. MD5 creates a digest of 128 bits (16
bytes) and SHA creates a digest of 160 bits (20
bytes).
Auth Password For SNMPv3, specifies the authentication password
that is appended to the authentication key before it is
computed into the MD5 or SHA message digest.
