Access Type Specify the SNMP administrator’s access rights to MIBs.
Read/Write - The SNMP administrator has read and write rights, meaning that the
user can create and edit the MIBs on the NWA.
Read Only - The SNMP administrator has read rights only, meaning the user can collect
information from the NWA.
Authentication

Select an authentication algorithm used for SNMP communication with the SNMP
administrator.
MD5 (Message Digest 5) and SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm) are hash algorithms used
to authenticate SNMP data. SHA authentication is generally considered stronger than
MD5, but is slower.
