Read-only and Read/write access control
The following fields allow you to define user names, passwords, and authentication parameters for
two levels of access: read-only and read/write. The name of the field will indicate which level of
access it refers to. For example, Read only authentication mode allows you to configure the
authentication mode for read-only access, whereas Read/write authentication mode allows you to
configure the authentication mode for read/write access. For each level of access, you may
configure the following:
User name: Use this optional field to identify the user name for the specified level of access.
Authentication mode (default=Disable): Use this field to select MD5 or SHA as the method of
password encryption for the specified level of access, or to disable authentication
Privacy mode (default=Disable): Use this field to enable to disable DES_CBC data encryption for
the specified level of access.
Password: Use this field to set the password for the specified level of access.
Privacy: Use this field to define the encryption key for the specified level of access

on your NPort 6000
Host Table
The Host Table may be used to simplify IP address entry on the NPort 6000 console by assigning a
Host Name to a Host IP Address. When you assign a Host Name to a Host IP Address, you may
then use the Host Name for some fields on the console rather than entering the IP address. Up to
16 entries can be stored on the Host Table.
