Ensure SNMPv3 is selected for queries and traps

HochStufe 1Manuelle Prüfungsophos

Beschreibung

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) gives access to Sophos Firewall information such as status of the firewall, service availability, CPU, memory and disk usage. Although Sophos Firewall supports SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c protocols, you should always use SNMPv3 for user and the authorized hosts to send traps. Specify encryption and authentication settings to ensure confidentiality, message integrity, and user validity. Reviewed in the Sophos Firewall web admin console (SFOS has no plain-text configuration export to audit offline).
