   • Server [Port] sets the SNMP server name and the port assignment. The default port assignment is 162.

     Note:

     NetBackup Virtual Appliance supports all of the SNMP servers in the market. However, the ManageEngine™ SNMP server and the HP OpenView SNMP server are tested and certified.

     • Security noAuthNoPriv [Username]

       Sets the security level to no authentication and no privileges for a specific SNMP user.

     • Security AuthNoPriv [Username] [Authentication Protocol] [Authentication Password]
