Whats the difference between SNMPv1, SNMPv2 and SNMPv3? ——————————————————- Whats the difference between SNMPv2 and SNMPv2c?
———————————————— A full description is probably beyond the scope of this FAQ. Very briefly, the original protocol and admin framework was described in RFCs 1155-1157, and is now known as SNMPv1. Practical experience showed up various problems and deficiencies with this, and a number of revised frameworks were developed to try and address these problems. Unfortunately, it proved difficult to achieve any sort of agreement – particularly over the details of the administrative framework to use. There was less disagreement over the proposed changes to the protocol operations.
