I recently set snmp configuration and encounter a problem.When I uncheck 'password is a key',the result will be test successful.Otherwise,it will be test failed.Could someone please tell me what does 'password is a key' mean?
Have a look at this: https://www.networkcomputing.com/networking/simplifying-snmpv3/page/0/2 - it will explain it far better than I could but it essentially ups the security of the SNMP process another notch.
As far as my comprehension,if I check 'password is a key',the password will be the key to encrypt and decrypt the data.Is that right?
