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.
