Configuring SNMP v2c Mode

Note – The information in this appendix applies only if you have elected to use SNMP v2c for SNMP communications between STA and the libraries.

SNMP v3 is the recommended protocol for SNMP communications between STA and the libraries. Depending on your site requirements, however, you may choose to use v2c. See “SNMP Configuration for STA” for details.

You will need to enable v2c mode if either of the following is true for your library environment:

Note – STA always attempts to communicate with libraries with v3; however, if v3 communication is not possible (for instance, if v3 is not configured on the library), STA will use v2c if enabled as per this appendix.

The complete SNMP v3 configuration process is described in Chapter 1, “Configuring the Libraries for STA” and Chapter 2, “Configuring SNMP in the STA Application”. This appendix describes only the specific procedures that differ for v2c configuration.
