SNMPv3 User Database. To receive inform messages and request
information, you must define both a local and remote user.
- Local—User is connected to the local device.

besides the local device. If the remote Engine ID is defined, remote
devices receive inform messages, but cannot make requests for
information.

SNMP groups are defined in the Add Group page.
Users, who belong to groups which have been deleted, remain, but

MD5 authentication method.
- SHA Password—A password that is used for generating a key by the
SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm) authentication method.
• Authentication Password—If authentication is accomplished by either a
MD5 or a SHA password, enter the local user password in either Encrypted
or Plaintext. Local user passwords are compared to the local database. and
can contain up to 32 ASCII characters.

Standard (DES).
