DESCRIPTION
Select this box to activate the SNMPv3 administration account. The SNMPv3
administrator can issue Get and Set commands to the ZyXEL Device.
Enter a username for the SNMPv3 administrator. Only SNMP commands
carrying this username are allowed to administer the ZyXEL Device.
Enter a password for the SNMPv3 administrator. Only SNMP commands
carrying this password are allowed to administer the ZyXEL Device.
Re-enter the Password.
For the administrator, this is always Set. SNMP Set commands allow the
administrator to make configuration changes.
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.
Specify the encryption method for SNMP communication with 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.
• None - no encryption is used.
