Re: SNMPv1/SNMPv2

[michael.hamm@tudor.lu]

thanks very much,

so was it a good idea to send traps and informs from cisco-routers
in "version 1" or is it better to send them as "version 2c" ????
but i think it does not care???

You cannot.  It uses SNMP V1 as the version number because it does not
support the complex security mechanism implemented by SNMPV2c (and largely
ignored by most vendors).  It sends a V1 style request even for V2 MIB
constructs,  which should work fine for all agents and all constructs.  I
am not aware of any cases where this does not work.  Remember that V2 is
largely a superset of V1, and that if we automatically changed the V1/V2
browser to send only V2 requests, then some V1 agents could not respond.

The NetView MIB-Browser always write the message:
"Sending SNMPv1 request to ......."
