In this way, how secure is SNMPv3?
SNMPv3 provides security with authentication and privacy, and its administration offers logical contexts, view-based access control, and remote configuration. All versions (SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3) of the Internet-Standard Management Framework share the same basic structure and components.
Also to know, is SNMP v2c secure?
SNMP is without a doubt a very useful protocol for the management and monitoring of network devices, servers and applications. Whether it is secure or not really comes down to the level of risk which is acceptable to the organisation. SNMPv1 and v2c do have flaws in that authentication is almost non-existent.
SNMPv2 agents can be used as proxy agents for SNMPv1 managed devices. It has improved error handling and SET commands over that of SNMPv1. Its Inform features allows acknowledgement of the receipt of messages by the manager. SNMPv3, on the other hand, has a better security system.
