Enter Authentication Protocol [M-MD5, S-SHA, N-None]:

M-MD5
This value represents the MD5 authentication protocol. With this
selection, users (SNMP entities) are authenticated with the MD5
authentication protocol after a message is received. This algorithm
generates the message digest. The user is authenticated when the
authentication protocol checks the message digest. With the MD5
selection, you can configure a Privacy Protocol.

S-SHA
This value represents the SHA authentication protocol. With this
selection, users are authenticated with the SHA authentication
protocol after a message is received. This algorithm generates the
message digest. The user is authenticated when the authentication
protocol checks the message digest. With the SHA selection, you can
configure a Privacy Protocol.

N-None
This value represents no authentication protocol. When messages are
received, users are not authenticated. With the None selection, you
cannot configure a Privacy Protocol.
