Table 2-17. SNMP v3 User Configuration
Field Description
SNMP v3 Access Mode The SNMPv3 access privileges for the user account. The admin account
always has Read/Write access, and all other accounts have Read Only
access.
Authentication Protocol Specify the SNMPv3 Authentication Protocol setting for the selected user
account. The valid Authentication Protocols are None, MD5, or SHA. If
you select:
• None - The user will be unable to access the SNMP data from an
SNMP browser.
• MD5 or SHA - The user login password will be used as SNMPv3
authentication password, and you must therefore specify a password.
The password must be eight characters in length.
Encryption Protocol Specify the SNMPv3 Encryption Protocol setting for the selected user
account. The valid Encryption Protocols are None or DES. If you select
the DES Protocol, you must enter a key in the Encryption Key field. If
None is specified for the Protocol, the Encryption Key is ignored.
Encryption Key If you selected DES in the Encryption Protocol field, enter the SNMPv3
Encryption Key here. Otherwise, this field is ignored. Valid keys are 0 to
15 characters long. The Apply check box must be checked in order to
change the Encryption Protocol and Encryption Key.
