Access Type
Specify the SNMP administrator’s access rights to MIBs.
Read/Write
- The SNMP administrator has read and write rights, meaning that the
user can create and edit the MIBs on the NWA.
Read Only
- The SNMP administrator has read rights only, meaning the user can collect
information from the NWA.
Authentication
Protocol
Select an authentication algorithm used for SNMP communication with the SNMP
administrator.
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. Select
None
to not use authentication.
Privacy Protocol
Specify the encryption method used for SNMP communication with the SNMP
administrator.
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.
None
- no encryption is used.
Enable SNMPv3
User
Select the check box to enable the SNMP user account for authentication with SNMP
managers using SNMP v3.
User Name
Specify the user name of the SNMP user account.
Password
Enter the password for SNMP user authentication.
Confirm Password
Retype the password for confirmation.
Access Type
Specify the SNMP user’s access rights to MIBs.
Read Only
- The SNMP user has read rights only, meaning the user can collect
information from the NWA.
Read/Write
- The SNMP user has read and write rights, meaning that the user can
create and edit the MIBs on the NWA.
Authentication
Protocol
Select an authentication algorithm used for SNMP communication with the SNMP user.
MD5
(Message Digest 5) and
SHA
(Secure Hash Algorithm) are hash algorithms used
to authenticate SNMP data.
SHA
authentication is generally considered stronger than

None
- no encryption is used.
SNMP
Server Port
You may change the server port number for a service if needed, however you must use
the same port number in order to use that service for remote management.
Server Access
Select the interface(s) through which a computer may access the NWA using this
service.
