DESCRIPTION

 

Password

Enter the password of up to 32 ASCII characters for SNMP user

 

 

authentication.

 

 

 

 

Privacy

Specify the encryption method for SNMP communication from this user.

 

 

You can choose one of the following:

 

 

DES - Data Encryption Standard is a widely used (but breakable)

 

 

method of data encryption. It applies a 56-bit key to each 64-bit block

 

 

of data.

 

 

AES - Advanced Encryption Standard is another method for data

 

 

encryption that also uses a secret key. AES applies a 128-bit key to

 

 

128-bit blocks of data.

 

 

 

 

Password

Enter the password of up to 32 ASCII characters for encrypting SNMP

 

 

packets.

 

 

 

 

Group

SNMP v3 adopts the concept of View-based Access Control Model (VACM)

 

 

group. SNMP managers in one group are assigned common access rights

 

 

to MIBs. Specify in which SNMP group this user is.

 

 

admin - Members of this group can perform all types of system

 

 

configuration, including the management of administrator accounts.

 

 

readwrite - Members of this group have read and write rights, meaning

 

 

that the user can create and edit the MIBs on the Switch, except the user

 

 

account and AAA configuration.

 

 

readonly - Members of this group have read rights only, meaning the

 

 

user can collect information from the Switch.

navigation panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when

 

 

you are done configuring.
