Table 2-1. Default Passwords for the Operator and Manager Users
To protect your network, you should change the passwords for both users.
Because the usernames and passwords are managed through SNMP v3, you
must select a password that meets SNMP v3 standards: the password must be
at least eight characters.
The password does not only authenticate the user. The password also func-
tions as the key for the following algorithms which secure SNMP v3 commu-
nications:
■ Hash Message Authentication Code-Message Digest 5 (HMAC-MD5), a
hash algorithm that ensures data integrity
■ Cipher Block Chaining-Data Encryption Standard (CBC-DES), an encryp-
tion algorithm that ensures data privacy
You can change the passwords either through the SNMP v3 settings or through
the Web-User settings. The most recent configuration takes precedence.
Changing Passwords for Default Users Through SNMP v3. To change
the passwords through the SNMP v3 settings, complete these steps:
1. Select Management > SNMP Access and click the V3 tab.
