# Configuring Encryption

Before you configure encryption, you must configure the authentication type. See Configuring Authentication .

To configure encryption for SNMPv3 users:

1. From configuration mode, access the configuration statement that configures the encryption.

   To configure AES encryption:

   `
   user@host# edit snmp v3 usm local-engine user username privacy-aes
   `

   To configure DES encryption:

   `
   user@host# edit snmp v3 usm local-engine user username privacy-des
   `
2. Specify the privacy password.
   `
   user@host# set privacy-password privacy-password
   `

   The password must be at least eight characters.
