SV-85119r1_rule The SNMP service on the storage system must require the use of a FIPS 140-2 approved cryptographic hash algorithm as part of its authentication and integrity methods.

Vulnerability discussion

The SNMP service must use AES or a FIPS 140-2 approved successor algorithm for protecting the privacy of communications.

Check content

Verify that SNMP encryption uses AES by entering the following command: cli% showsnmpuser Username AuthProtocol PrivProtocol 3parsnmpuser HMAC-SHA-96 CFB128-AES-128 If the PrivProtocol in the result is not AES, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the storage system to use AES encryption for 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.
