CaseView – Network Management System
Device Access Modes

SNMPC Supports various device access modes including TCP only, ICMP (Ping), SNMP V1, SNMP V2c and SNMP V3. Each mode is briefly described below.

None (TCP Only)

Null access is used for polling TCP services only, where ICMP / SNMP access is restricted by a firewall.

ICMP (Ping)

ICMP (Ping) mode is used for devices that do not support SNMP but can still be pinged to see if they are responding. This may include servers and workstations.

SNMP V1 and V2C

SNMP V1 and SNMP V2c are very similiar SNMP agent protocols that are used by most currently deployed network devices. Any device thats supports V2c will generally support V1. CaseView uses automated intelligence to switch from one mode to the other as needed. So in most cases you will always select SNMP V1 as the device access mode for any SNMP device.

SNMP V3

SNMP V3 is a secure SNMP Agent protocol that supports authentication and privacy (encryption).
