Configuring Users for Encrypted SNMP v3
The SNMP v3 protocol allows for encrypted communication. To take
advantage of this, users need to have an Authentication Pass Phrase
and Privacy Pass Phrase, which act as shared secrets between them
and the PX.
To configure users for SNMP v3 encrypted communication:
1. Choose User Management > Users. The Manage Users dialog
appears.
2. Select the user by clicking it.
3. Click Edit or double-click the user. The Edit User 'XXX' dialog
appears, where XXX is the user name.
4. To change the SNMPv3 access permissions, click the SNMPv3 tab
and make necessary changes. For details, see Step 6 of
Creating a
User Profile
(on page 154).
