In the
Security Model
field, type:
none — Traps are sent in plain text without a digital signature.
authentication — An authentication password must be given. SNMP v3 uses this
pass phrase to digitally "sign" v3 traps using MD5 protocol (associate them with
the user).
privacy — Both an authentication password and a privacy password must be
given in order to provide user-specific authentication and encryption. Traps are
signed as above and also encrypted using Data Encryption Standard (DES)
protocol.
d
If you selected authentication as your security model, then in the Authentication
Password field, type a text string at least 8 characters long to provide user-specific
authentication by means of a digital signature. The pass phrase can contain any
characters except: ` \ & , ' " (for example: hon3yb38r).
If you selected privacy
as your security model, then complete the Authentication
Password field as described in the previous paragraph. Also, in the Privacy
Password field, type a text string at least 8 characters long to provide user-specific
authentication and trap encryption. The pass phrase can contain any characters
except: ` \ & , ' " (for example: k33p58f3).
