The SNMPv3 Admin Tool is an intuitive Graphical
User Interface (GUI) for User, Group, Access, and View
management of SNMPv3 agents as described in RFC 3414
(USM) and RFC 3415 (VACM).
The SNMPv3 Management Framework provides
security and administration through USM and VACM. The
USM utilizes MD5 and the Secure Hash Algorithm as keyed
hashing algorithms. VACM enables you to define group,
access and view for the user to access the management
information.
Though there are MIBs suitable for remotely monitoring
and managing the configuration parameters of USM and
VACM, it becomes difficult due to complexity in these
security models.
SNMPv3 Admin tool provides easy and user-friendly
GUI to configure security and administration details
of USM and VACM. Also, the user need not know the basic
SNMPv3 framework to work with the admin tool.
