auth
−
The user may also choose the type of authentication algorithms used to
authenticate the snmp user.
The choices are:
md5

be utilized by entering one of the following:
<auth password 8-16>
- An alphanumeric string of between 8 and 16 characters that
will be used to authorize the agent to receive packets for the host.
<auth_key 32-32>
- Enter an alphanumeric string of exactly 32 characters, in hex
form, to define the key that will be used to authorize the agent to receive packets
for the host.
sha
−
Specifies that the HMAC-SHA-96 authentication level will be used.
<auth password 8-20>
- An alphanumeric string of between 8 and 20 characters that
will be used to authorize the agent to receive packets for the host.
<
auth_key 40-40>
- Enter an alphanumeric string of exactly 40 characters, in hex
form, to define the key that will be used to authorize the agent to receive packets
for the host
.
priv
– Adding the priv (privacy) parameter will allow for encryption in addition to the
authentication algorithm for higher security. The user may choose:
des – Adding this parameter will allow for a 56-bit encryption to be added using the
DES-56 standard using:
<priv_password 8-16>
- An alphanumeric string of between 8 and 16 characters that
will be used to encrypt the contents of messages the host sends to the agent.
<priv_key 32-32>
- Enter an alphanumeric key string of exactly 32 characters, in hex
form, that will be used to encrypt the contents of messages the host sends to the
agent.
none
– Adding this parameter will add no encryption.
