Using the Command Line Interface

The command prompts for the following information to configure an SNMP v3 user:

-user-name- A user-defined string for the SNMP user. (32 characters maximum)

-group-name- The name of the SNMP group to which the user is assigned (32 characters maximum). There are three pre-defined groups: RO, RWAuth, or RWPriv.

-auth-proto- The authentication type used for user authentication: md5 or none.

-auth-passphrase- The user password required when authentication is used (8 – 32 characters).

-priv-proto- The encryption type used for SNMP data encryption: des or none.

-priv-passphrase- The user password required when data encryption is used (8 – 32 characters).

Users must be assigned to groups that have the same security levels. If a user who has “AuthPriv” security (uses authentication and encryption) is assigned to a read-only (RO) group, the user will not be able to access the database. An AuthPriv user must be assigned to the RWPriv group with the AuthPriv security level.

To configure a user for the RWAuth group, you must include the auth-protoand auth-passphrasekeywords.

To configure a user for the RWPriv group, you must include the auth-proto,auth-passphrase,priv-proto,and priv-passphrasekeywords.
