Select one of the following:
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.
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.
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.
Note
You may want to assign NONE to a super user.

You can only configure the Privacy Protocol if you have configured
the Authentication Protocol with the MD5 or SHA values.

DES
Select this value to make the DES privacy (or encryption) protocol
the privacy protocol for this User Table entry. With this selection,
