2.1 Password / SNMPv3 access

This dialog gives you the option of changing the read and read/write
passwords for access to the device via the graphical user interface, via the
CLI, and via SNMPv3 (SNMP version 3).
Set different passwords for the read password and the read/write password
so that a user that only has read access (user name "user") does not know,
or cannot guess, the password for read/write access (user name "admin").
If you set identical passwords, when you attempt to write this data the device
reports a general error.
The graphical user interface and the command line interface (CLI) use the
same passwords as SNMPv3 for the users "admin" and "user".
Note: Passwords are case-sensitive.
 Select "Modify read-only password (user)" to enter the read password.
 Enter the new read password in the "New password" line and repeat your
entry in the "Please retype" line.
 Select "Modify read-write password (admin)" to enter the read/write
password.
 Enter the read/write password and repeat your entry.
 The "Accept only encrypted requests" function controls the encryption of
the management data for the transfer between your PC and the device via
SNMPv3.
– When the data encryption is deactivated, the transfer of the
configuration data is unencrypted, and is protected from corruption.
– The graphical user interface always transfers the passwords securely.
– The graphical user interface always transfers the user name in plain
text.
