2. Enable or disable SNMP v1, SNMPv2 or SNMPv3.

Enable SNMPv1

SNMP v1exposes a device’s management data so it can be managed remotely. Device data is
exposed as variables that can be accessed and modified as text strings, with version 1 being the
original (rudimentary) implementation. SNMPv1 is enabled by default.

Enable SNMPv2

Select the checkbox to enable SNMPv2 support. SNMPv2 provides device management using a
hierarchical set of variables. SNMPv2 uses Get, GetNext, and Set operations for data management.
SNMPv2 is enabled by default.

Enable SNMPv3

Select the checkbox to enable SNMPv3 support. SNMPv3 adds security and remote configuration
capabilities to previous versions. The SNMPv3 architecture introduces the user-based security
model
(USM) for message security and the view-based access control model (VACM) for access
control. The architecture supports the concurrent use of different security, access control and
message processing techniques. SNMPv3 is enabled by default.
