6.2.2 Entering the password for SNMP access
Select the Security:Password/SNMP Access dialog.
This dialog gives you the option of changing the read and read/write
passwords for access to the device via the Web-based interface, via the
CLI, and via SNMPv3 (SNMP version 3). Please note that passwords
are case-sensitive.
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 Web-based interface and the user interface (CLI) use the same
passwords as SNMPv3 for the users “admin” and “user”.
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.
"Data encryption" encrypts the data of the Web-based management
that is transferred between your PC and the device with SNMPv3.
You can set the "Data encryption" differently for access with a read
password and access with a read/write password.
