SNMPv3 information is used by WebNMS for managing and monitoring the network using SNMPv3 protocol. WebNMS maintains five Database Tables to configure SNMPv3 parameters. Out of these five tables, four are single column tables. Single column tables contain data of the Hosts, Ports, Engine Names and User Names (each value displayed on a different table).
The fifth table contains the complete SNMP v3 configuration information, which includes a combination of Host Name, Port Number, User Name and the Security parameters or Engine name, User Name and Security parameters. The Host Name, Port Number, User Name, and the Engine Name data to be added to the SNMPv3 configuration table (fifth table) are taken from these single column tables. The user gives the security parameters for each SNMPv3 configuration.
The SNMP V3 Security tool in WebNMS can be used to configure SNMPv3 security parameters.
