System Configuration
Configuring SNMPv3 Users
The access point allows up to 10 SNMP v3 users to be configured. Each user must
be defined by a unique name, assigned to one of three pre-defined security groups,
and configured with specific authentication and encryption settings.
User – The SNMPv3 user name. (32 characters maximum)
Group – The SNMPv3 group name. (Options: RO, RWAuth, or RWPriv; Default: RO)
• RO – Read-only access.
• RWAuth – Read/write access with user authentication.
• RWPriv – Read/write access with both user authentication and data encryption.
Auth Type – The authentication type used for the SNMP user; either MD5 or none.
When MD5 is selected, enter a password in the corresponding Passphrase field.
Priv Type – The data encryption type used for the SNMP user; either DES or none.
When DES is selected, enter a key in the corresponding Passphrase field.
Passphrase – The password or key associated with the authentication and privacy
settings. A minimum of eight plain text characters is required.
Action – Click the Add button to add a new user to the list. Click the edit button to
change details of an existing user. Click the Del button to remove a user from the list.
Note: Users must be assigned to groups that have the same security levels. For
example, a user who has "Auth Type" and "Priv Type" configured to MD5 and
DES respectively (that it, uses both authentication and data encryption) must be
assigned to the RWPriv group. If this same user were instead assigned to the
read-only (RO) group, the user would not be able to access the database.
