Planning for SNMPv3 operation
SNMP security mode
Select one of the following SNMPv3 security modes:
•
Use MIB-based security management to tailor views and security levels appropriate for
different types of user. MIB-based security management uses standard SNMPv3 MIBs
to configure the user-based security model and the view-based access control model.
MIB-based security management can take advantage of the built-in security
management capabilities of existing network managers.
•
Use web-based security management to configure users, security levels, passphrases,
and privacy and authentication protocols. The capabilities supported are somewhat less
flexible than those supported using the MIB-based security management, but will be
sufficient in many applications.
The system does not support concurrent use of MIB-based and web-based management.
Web-based management of SNMPv3 security
Select one of the following formats for SNMP Engine ID:
•
MAC address (default).
•
IP address.
•
Text string: Use a string that is approved for the network management system. This is
often based on some identifier that survives replacement of the PTP hardware.
HTTP and HTTPS/TLS user accounts may be assigned one of three security roles: Security
Officer, System Administrator or Read Only. Initially, the PTP 800 software allows only
Security Officer users to configure SNMPv3 security.
Decide whether or not that System Administrator users will be allowed to configure
SNMPv3 security.
Assign a user name and security role (System Administrator or Read Only) to each
SNMPv3 user.
For each security role (System Administrator and Read Only), select one of the following
security levels:
•
No authentication, no privacy
•
Authentication, no privacy
•
Authentication, privacy
Select one of the following authentication protocols (if required):
•
MD5
