A Wireless Network Management System (WNMS) often uses SNMP to manage APs. SNMPv3 is the secure version of SNMP because it supports authentication, encryption, and message integrity. Unlike SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c, which transmit data (including community strings) in plaintext, SNMPv3 provides secure management communications.
