Details supported SNMP versions, version guidance, monitored system information, and how to open the SNMP Global Configuration page in Cisco Cyber Vision.


SNMP protocol in Cisco Cyber Vision is used for remote monitoring purposes. To access the SNMP Global Configuration page, choose Admin > SNMP from the main menu.

  • Older SNMP versions are not supported.

It is highly recommended to use SNMP version 3. SNMP version 2c is available because many infrastructures still use it; however, its security risks are higher.

Supported SNMP versions

  • SNMP V2C

  • SNMP V3

Information available through SNMP

  • CPU % per core

  • Load 0 to 100 (combination of CPU and I/O loads)

  • RAM kilobytes

  • Swap kilobytes

  • Traffic for all physical interfaces (nb bytes in and out/interface since the SNMP service startup)

  • Data storage (% - 250G)

  • Packets statistics (packets/sec/int)


Configure SNMP

Configure SNMP on a CyberVision Center.

Procedure

  1. From the main menu. choose Admin > SNMP.

  2. Enable SNMP agent.

    A configuration menu appears.

  3. Enter the IP address of the monitoring host in Monitoring hosts (IPv4).

  4. Select Version 3 or Version 2c.

    Note

    For security reasons, Cisco recommends SNMP version 3.

    If you select Version 3, select a value for Security type and enter the applicable settings:

    • For NoAuth, enter a Username. Only a username is required; no authentication password is required. The default username is ics.

    • For Auth with NoPriv, enter a Username and an encrypted password. The default username is ics. In Authentication, enter the required hash algorithm and its password. The password must be at least 8 characters long.

    • For Auth with Priv, only AES encryption is available. Enter a Username, an encrypted password, and the required AES encryption. The default username is ics. In Authentication, enter the required hash algorithm and its password. The password must be at least 8 characters long. In Privacy, enter the AES password. The password must be at least 8 characters long.

    If you select Version 2c, enter the community string so that the Center can communicate with the monitoring host.

  5. Enable Trap.

    The configuration menu appears.

  6. Configure the traps to be delivered.

    • If you selected SNMP v3, Engine ID (the Center ID) is displayed. Customize it as needed.

    • Set the CPU and memory rate limit and threshold values according to your needs.

  7. Click Save Configuration.
