Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) allows a polling workstation or trap server to obtain data about devices on the network. This may include the almost real-time status of services, server functionality, and the security and service settings on the device.

      • privtype—enter the encryption type. The value must be either DES or AES-128. This field is only configured when using SNMP version 3 and authPriv as the security level.
      • privphrase—enter the privacy authentication password used to encrypt the data. This field is only configured when using SNMP version 3 and authPriv as the security level.

Configuring SNMP Trap Service on DNS/DHCP Server

The trap server is the server to which DNS/DHCP Server communicates specified changes in its status by sending SNMP traps. Multiple trap servers can be configured to use SNMP version 1, 2c, or 3. This may be a different address from the SNMP polling server or manager address that's set up when enabling the service. In SNMPv3, trap messages must be authenticated with a trap server username and password.
