These parameters are displayed:
Engine ID - The engine identifier for the SNMP agent on the remote
◆
device where the user resides. (Range: 10-64 hex digits, excluding a
string of all 0's or all F's)
To send inform messages to an SNMPv3 user on a remote device, you
must first specify the engine identifier for the SNMP agent on the
remote device where the user resides. The remote engine ID is used to
compute the security digest for authenticating and encrypting packets
sent to a user on the remote host.
SNMP passwords are localized using the engine ID of the authoritative
agent. For informs, the authoritative SNMP agent is the remote agent.
You therefore need to configure the remote agent's SNMP engine ID
before you can send proxy requests or informs to it. (See
SNMP System and Trap Settings" on page
User Name - The name of user connecting to the SNMP agent.
◆
(Range: 1-32 characters, ASCII characters 33-126 only)
Security Level - The security level assigned to the user:
◆
NoAuth, NoPriv - There is no authentication or encryption used in
■
SNMP communications. (This is the default for SNMPv3.)
Auth, NoPriv - SNMP communications use authentication, but the
■
data is not encrypted.
Auth, Priv - SNMP communications use both authentication and
■
encryption.
Authentication Protocol - The method used for user authentication.
◆
(Options: None, MD5, SHA; Default: MD5)
Authentication Password - A plain text string identifying the
◆
authentication pass phrase. (Range: 1-32 characters for MD5, 8-40
characters for SHA)
Privacy Protocol - The encryption algorithm use for data privacy; only
◆
56-bit DES is currently available. (Options: None, DES; Default: DES)
Privacy Password - A string identifying the privacy pass phrase.
◆
(Range: 8-40 characters, ASCII characters 33-126 only)
