AES-256 Encryption Algorithm Support for SNMPv3 (ACX7100-32C, ACX7100-48L, ACX7509, ACX7024, ACX7024X, PTX10001-36MR, PTX10002-36QDD, PTX10004, PTX10008, PTX10016, QFX5130-32CD, QFX5130E-32CD, QFX5130-48C, QFX5130-48CM, QFX5700, QFX5700E, QFX5220, QFX5230-64CD, QFX5240-64OD, and QFX5240-64QD)—You can configure Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256 algorithm for an SNMPv3 user. To configure AES-256 algorithms for an SNMPv3 user, include the
privacy-aes256statement at theedit snmp v3 usm local-engine user usernamehierarchy level. AES-256 is a symmetric encryption algorithm that uses a 256-bit key to encrypt or decrypt messages and provides high-level security for protecting sensitive information.[See Configure SNMPv3 Authentication Type and Encryption Type, show snmp v3, and usm.]
