Getting Started with the Java Dynamic Management Kit 5.0

SNMPv3 Security

The Java DMK 5.0 extends the SNMP support of previous Java DMK releases to include the SNMPv3 protocol. This means that Java DMK benefits from the security and administration services offered by SNMPv3.

The Java DMK supports SNMPv1 and v2 fully, and implements much of SNMPv3. A single agent can respond to requests from any version of SNMP.

For more information about security using the SNMPv3 protocol, see Security.
