14.4.3.4 Security Concerns and Measures
Since SNMP allows write-access to configuration parameters, it is important to protect this
interface. The following security measures are available:
A community string (password) can be defined for read-only access and for read/write
access.
It is possible to limit access to SNMP to a trusted peer (single IP address or a range of
addresses).
SNMPv3 provides an significant security improvement over SNMPv1/2. Version 2.8.0
will support SNMPv3 and will allow the service provider to configure SNMPv3 security
parameters.
