How to limit the SNMP versions when creating a new element?

Hi Dojo

Is it possible to limit the SNMP versions when creating a new element? If the corresponding device only supports SNMPv3, I would like to remove the options SNMPv1 and SNMPv2.

I'm expecting that I will need to add/change something in the PortSettings tag: https://docs.dataminer.services/develop/schemadoc/Protocol/Protocol.PortSettings.html

Thank you in advance!

Kind regards

Hi Michiel,

As far as I am aware there is no option to restrict that to only 1 specific SNMP version.

If you define the connection type on the connector as SNMP v1 you will be able to choose between version 1, 2 or 3

If you define the connection as SNMPv2 you will be able to choose between v2 and v3 and the same goes if you define it as SNMPv3

Hi João. Thank you for your answer! Okay so for my case I can set the Protocol.Type tag to snmpv3: https://docs.dataminer.services/develop/schemadoc/Protocol/Protocol.Type.html Much appreciated!
