Re: snmpv3 and Insight SIM 5.0 or future release
Hi, thanks for the information.
I tried to disable (not configure it) snmp in order to test if wmi/wbem could replce entirely snmp, but it didnt work at that time..
Do you know if snmp can be now disabled and replace by wmi/wbem ? we use insight SIM 5.0
and management agents 7.30

Re: snmpv3 and Insight SIM 5.0 or future release
SNMPv2 is considered 'unsecure' because community strings are the only security and they are passed in clear text and can be sniffed on the wire. Well, first of all, if you have people on your corporate network (I'm not talking about systems outside your firewall) that are sniffing your network, you have a bigger problem than SNMP.
HP SIM does not need a WRITE community string and does not use SNMP for any transactions with the target devices (it uses HTTPS). Since a WRITE community string is never passed on the wire, sniffing will only reveal a READ community string and what can you learn from that? That the system has 40% utilization? Has a drive array configured RAID 5? This is harmless.
HP SIM and the agents also provide a number of ways to 'lock down' SNMP like binding to a specific IP address or requiring a specific host or set of hosts that requires an SNMP read to be initiated by.
Clearly there are areas where the potential 'risk' of SNMP isn't acceptable, like in banking or defense. IMHO, the current hysteria around SNMP in most commercial organizations is unfounded and imprudent.

Re: snmpv3 and Insight SIM 5.0 or future release
I cannot locate specific technical documentation regarding SNMP v2 and v3 in relation to SIM which leads me to believe that it is not supported. SSH would then be the only option for encryption of SIM SNMP traffic correct?
I have the "Understanding HP SIM security" doc which includes a reference to an "HP Systems Insight Manager Technical Reference Guide" which I cannot locate.
Not trying to perpetuate the hysteria by any means - just attempting to define my options.
Thanks!
