SNMPv3


	The initial work on the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) began in the late 1980s as a means to supplement the TCP/IP tools 'ping' and 'traceroute'. Since these early beginnings, SNMP has evolved through three versions into the internet-standard management framework.

	Version 3 of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv3) is published as IETF Internet Standard 62 in eight RFCs as follow:

	- RFC3411		An Architecture for Describing SNMP Management Frameworks
	- RFC3412		Message Processing and Dispatching for the SNMP
- RFC3413	SNMP Applications
	- RFC3414	User-based Security Model (USM) for version 3 of the SNMP
	- RFC3415	View-based Access Control Model (VACM) for the SNMP
	- RFC3416		Version 2 of the Protocol Operations for the SNMP
	- RFC3417		Transport Mappings for the SNMP
	- RFC3418		Management Information Base (MIB) for the SNMP

An overview of IETF standard 62 (SNMPv3) is published as an informational RFC:

	- RFC3410		The SNMP - An Introduction and Applicability Statements

Different versions of SNMP interoperate as described by the following RFC:

	- RFC3584		Coexistence between Version 1, Version 2, and Version 3 of the Internet-standard Network Management Framework
