Creating an SNMP Alert Response
You can create SNMP alert responses using SNMPv1, SNMPv2, or SNMPv3 for an device type except threat defense.
Note | When selecting SNMP versions for the SNMP protocol, note that SNMPv2 only supports read-only communities and SNMPv3 only supports read-only users. SNMPv3 also supports encryption with AES128. |
If you want to monitor 64-bit values with SNMP, you must use SNMPv2 or SNMPv3. SNMPv1 does not support 64-bit monitoring.
