Privacy Protocol
Specify the encryption method used for SNMP communication with the SNMP
administrator.
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.
SNMPv3 User

SNMPv3 User
Select the check box to enable the SNMP user account for authentication with SNMP

Retype the password for confirmation.
Access Type
Specify the SNMP user’s access rights to MIBs.
Read Only
- The SNMP user has read rights only, meaning the user can collect
information from the NWA.
Read/Write
- The SNMP user has read and write rights, meaning that the user can
create and edit the MIBs on the NWA.
Authentication
Protocol
Select an authentication algorithm used for SNMP communication with the SNMP user.
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.
