SNMP V3 User Configuration
To access this page, click System SNMP SNMP V3 User Configuration. A screen similar
to the following displays.
To configure SNMPv3 settings for the user account:
1. Use User Name to specify the user account to be configured.
2. SNMP v3 Access Mode - Indicates the SNMPv3 access privileges for the user account.
The admin account always has 'Read/Write' access, and all other accounts have 'Read Only'
access.
3. Use Authentication Protocol to 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.
•If you select MD5 or SHA, the user login password will be used as the SNMPv3
authentication password, and you must therefore specify a password, and it must be
eight characters long.
4. Use Encryption Protocol to 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.
5. 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 checkbox must be checked in order to change the Encryption Protocol and
Encryption Key.
6. Click CANCEL to cancel the configuration on the screen. Resets the data on the screen to
the latest value of the switch.
