11.2.3.11 Defining User Accounts Page

By default, two user accounts exist:

admin, with 'Read/Write' privileges

guest, with 'Read Only' privileges

By default, both of these accounts have blank passwords. The names are not case sensitive.

If you logon with a user account with 'Read/Write' privileges (that is, as admin) you can use the User
Accounts screen to assign passwords and set security parameters for the default accounts, and to add
and delete accounts (other than admin) up to the maximum of six. Only a user with 'Read/Write'
privileges may alter data on this screen, and only one account may be created with 'Read/Write'
privileges.

Selection Criteria

User Name Selector - You can use this screen to reconfigure an existing account, or to create a
new one. Use this pulldown menu to select one of the existing accounts, or select 'Create' to add a
new one, provided the maximum of five 'Read Only' accounts has not been reached.

Authentication Protocol - Specify the SNMPv3 Authentication Protocol setting for the selected user
account. The valid Authentication Protocols are None, MD5 or SHA. If you select None, the user will
be unable to access the SNMP data from an SNMP browser. If you select MD5 or SHA, the user
login password will be used as the SNMPv3 authentication password, and you must therefore
specify a password, and it must be eight characters.
