Setting Description
Security user The security user name authorized to receive
notifications (Traps or Informs).
Authentication type The authentication protocol. These protocols are used
to create unique fixed-size message digests of a
variable length message.
Possible values for authentication protocol are:
•MD5—Creates a digest of 128 bits (16 bytes).
•SHA—Creates a digest of 160 bits (20 bytes).
Both methods include the authentication key with the
SNMPv3 packet and then generate a digest of the entire
SNMPv3 packet.

•DES—Uses a 56-bit key with a 56-bit salt to encrypt
the SNMPv3 packet.
•AES—Uses a 128-bit key with a 128-bit salt to
encrypt the SNMPv3 packet.
