The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Table 153 Management > Access Control > SNMP > User
LABEL | DESCRIPTION | |
User | Note: Use the username and password of the login accounts you | |
Information | ||
specify in this screen to create accounts on the SNMP v3 | ||
| ||
| manager. | |
|
| |
Username | Specify the username of a login account on the Switch. | |
|
| |
Security Level | Select whether you want to implement authentication and/or encryption | |
| for SNMP communication from this user. Choose: | |
| • noauth | |
| SNMP manager. This is equivalent to the Get, Set and Trap | |
| Community in SNMP v2c. This is the lowest security level. | |
| • auth - to implement an authentication algorithm for SNMP messages | |
| sent by this user. | |
| • priv - to implement authentication and encryption for SNMP | |
| messages sent by this user. This is the highest security level. | |
| Note: The settings on the SNMP manager must be set at the same | |
| security level or higher than the security level settings on the | |
| Switch. | |
|
| |
Authentication | Select an authentication algorithm. 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. | |
