Title : SNMP Administrative Model Author(s) : James Galvin Filename : draft-ietf-snmpsec-admin-00.txt, .ps This paper presents an elaboration of the SNMP administrative model which provides a unified conceptual basis for administering SNMP protocol entities to support authentication and integrity, privacy, access control, and the cooperation of multiple protocol entities. This paper also describes how the elaborated administrative model is applied to realize effective network management in a variety of configurations and environments. The model described here entails the use of distinct identities for peers that exchange SNMP messages. Thus, it represents a departure from the community-based administrative model. By unambiguously identifying the source and intended recipient of each SNMP message, this new strategy improves upon the historical community scheme both by supporting a more convenient access control model and allowing for effective use of asymmetric (public key) security protocols in the future.
