• Name—Enter a name for the network access profile.
• Login Type—Choose which login protocol to use: SSH or Telnet. The SSH protocol is more secure. The Telnet protocol does not encrypt the username and password.
• Authorization Group—Choose default or create a new authorization group. If creating a new authorization group, enter a name for it and applicable information in the fields that follow.

Choose default or create a new SNMP group. If creating a new SNMP group, enter a name for it and select either SNMPv2c or SNMPv3.

• If SNMPv2c, enter the SNMP RO community string that acts as a password. It is used to authenticate messages sent between the node and the seed router.

• If SNMPv3, enter the following default credentials:

  • Security Level—Select one of the following:

    • noAuthNoPriv—Security level that does not provide authentication or encryption. This level is not supported for SNMPv3.

    • authNoPriv—Security level that provides authentication but does not provide encryption.

    • authPriv—Security level that provides both authentication and encryption.

  • Authentication Protocol and Password—Select one of the following:

    • md5—HMAC-MD5-96 authentication protocol

    • sha—HMAC-SHA-96 authentication protocol

  • Encryption Protocol and Password—The priv option offers a choice of DES or 128-bit AES encryption for SNMP security encryption. The priv option and the aes-128 token indicates that this privacy password is for generating a 128-bit AES key #.The AES priv password can have a minimum of eight characters. If the passphrases are specified in clear text, you can specify a maximum of 64 characters. If you use the localized key, you can specify a maximum of 130 characters.
