Java Dynamic Management Kit 5.1 Getting Started Guide

1.3.4 SNMPv3 Protocol

Java DMK 5.1 provides an implementation of the SNMPv3 protocol. This means that Java DMK benefits from the security and administration services offered by SNMPv3.

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 2.6 Security.
