SNMP v3

• There is an SNMP Version 3 working group (SNMPv3) in the IETF developing the next generation of SNMP

• The following objectives are provided to the Working Group:

  • Accommodate the wide range of operational environments with differing management demands
  • Facilitate the need to transition from previous, multiple protocols to SNMPv3
  • Facilitate the ease of setup and maintenance activities

• SNMPv3 planned specifications:

  • Modules and Interface Definitions
  • Message Processing and Control Module Specification
  • Security Model Module Specification
  • Local Processing Mosule Specification
  • Proxy Specification

• The work is nowhere close to complete, SNMP v1 still reigns
