community string and private for the read-write community string.
Access Control Set the access permission for each community string used by devices to
retrieve or modify information. The available options include:
Read Only -Allows a remote device to retrieve information
Read-Write - Allows a remote device to modify settings
User Name Use the drop down menu to define a user name of either snmpmanager,
snmpoperator or snmptrap.
Authentication Displays the authentication scheme used with the listed SNMPv3 user.
The listed authentication scheme ensures only trusted and authorized
users and devices are permitted access.
Encryption Displays the encryption scheme used with the listed SNMPv3 user. The
listed encryption scheme ensures data is protected when forwarded over
insecure interfaces like HTTP.
Password Provide the user’s password in the field provided. Select the Show radio
button to display the actual character string used in the password. Leaving
the radio button unselected protects the password and displays each
character as “*”.
