Password for SNMP access
91
Figure 21: Password/SNMP Access dialog
Note: If you do not know a password with “read/write” access, you will
not have write access to the device.
Note: For security reasons, the device does not display the passwords.
Make a note of every change. You cannot access the device without a
valid password.
Note: For security reasons, SNMPv3 encrypts the password. With the
“SNMPv1” or “SNMPv2” setting in the dialog Security:SNMPv1/v2
access, the device transfers the password unencrypted, so that this
can also be read.
Note: Use between 5 and 32 characters for the password in SNMPv3,
since many applications do not accept shorter passwords.
