SNMPv3 Configuration and Management

• Configuring Users

• Adding Users

• Saving User Information

• Database Schema

• Security and Access Control Framework

• Co-Existence

• Proxy Forwarding

• Notification Filtering

SNMPv3 defines procedures for providing SNMP message-level security, controlling access to management information, and defining the mechanism for remote configuration and administration of SNMPv3 entities. The AdventNet SNMPv3 API provides an implementation of USM and VACM. Using these models, applications can:

• Configure users and their security parameters for USM

• Use utility functions using authentication protocols, such as MD5, SHA, etc.

• Configure views and access policies for VACM

• Store security and access control configuration in flat files as serialized Java objects

• Initialize security and access control configurations from external data store
