    Security Name
    ,
    Authentication Protocol
    , and
    Authentication Password
     settings.
    Auth and Privacy

    /config/net-snmp/snmpd.conf
     file on the BIG-IP system.
    Note that this ID is identified in the file as the value of the oldEngineID token.
    If EngineID is not manually specified in the configuration or changed, it will be subjected to an alteration after upgrade activities. See
    K15681: Customizing the SNMP v3 engineID
     at
    support.f5.com/csp/article/K15681
    : "This ID is normally determined automatically, using a combination of a pseudorandom number and the current time, in seconds."
  21. From the
    Authentication Protocol
     list, select the algorithm the system uses to authenticate SNMP v3 traps.
    When you set this value, you must also enter a value in the
    Authentication Password

  22. In the
    Authentication Password
     field, type the password the system uses to handle an SNMP v3 trap.
