Vulnerability discussion

SNMP Versions 1 and 2 are not considered secure. Without the strong authentication and privacy provided by the SNMP Version 3 User-based Security Model (USM), an attacker or other unauthorized users may gain access to detailed system management information and use the information to launch attacks against the system.

Check content

Verify that SNMPv3 is enabled by entering the command: cli% showsnmpmgr HostIP Port SNMPVersion User 162 3 If the SNMPVersion is not 3, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the OS to use SNMPv3 by entering the command: cli% setsnmpmgr -snmpuser 3parsnmpuser -pw -version 3

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
