This is equivalent to the Get, Set and Trap Community in SNMP v2c. This is the lowest
security level.

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.
Password
Enter the password of up to 32 ASCII characters for SNMP user authentication.
Privacy
Specify the encryption method for SNMP communication from 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.
Password
Enter the password of up to 32 ASCII characters for encrypting SNMP packets.
