SNMPv3 Agent

AdventNet SNMP Agent Toolkit Java Edition helps in building SNMP v3 agents. SNMP v3 is brought in mainly to overcome the security vulnerabilities, such as eavesdropping during data transmission, that were prevalent in the earlier versions of SNMP protocol. Agents that implement SNMP v3 showcase better security and administrative capabilities. For device/application that requires high-level of security, SNMP v3 based agents are highly recommended.

Support for User-based Security Model (USM) as defined in the SNMP standards (RFC 3414).

Provides security using authentication and privacy services.

Support for View-based Access Control Model (VACM) as defined in the SNMP standards (RFC 3415).

Restricts particular users in accessing managed object(s) in the MIB view of SNMPv3 agents.

Support for co-existence of SNMPv1, v2c, and v3 agent

Enables to communicate with multi-lingual agents i.e, provides mechanism for adapting SNMPv1/v2c into the VACM and thus making the agent strictly v3.

Support for SNMP-NOTIFICATION-MIB and SNMP-TARGET-MIB (RFC 3413)

Stores remote management details to send notification in an SNMP entity.

Implements managed objects as per SNMP standards that exposes the behaviour of the SNMPv3 entity.

SNMPv3 Admin tool

Ability to view and manipulate USM and VACM related tables of SNMP v3 agents with much ease during agent runtime.
