SNMP Configuration
Users
When adding a new user (either through New or Copy action), the system will present an option to either enter the Authentication and Privacy (Encryption) Key either directly (Key) or as a Password (Password to Key), as shown below.
In case you choose to enter the key information as a password, the system will internally generate a key value corresponding to the password entered and maintain that information for the user. This is done because some SNMP clients use keys for authentication and encryption, while others use passwords. For clients that use passwords, a user needs to be created with passwords for the Authentication and Encryption parameters. After choosing either “Key” or “Password to key”, press “OK” and fill in the parameters described in the table above to define the new user, as shown in the following New Users Entry screen.
NOTE: When editing a user who has been created with a password for Authentication and Privacy, you can only edit the resulting key. This is because Broadmore converts the password to a key while saving the user information and does not maintain any record of the original password that had been entered.
