Configuring SNMPv3 Users

Each SNMPv3 user is defined by a unique name. Users must be configured with a specific security level and assigned to a group. The SNMPv3 group restricts users to a specific read, write, or notify view.

Command Attributes

•User Name – The name of user connecting to the SNMP agent. (Range: 1-32 characters)

•Group Name – The name of the SNMP group to which the user is assigned. (Range: 1-32 characters)

•Security Model – The user security model; SNMP v1, v2c or v3.

•Security Level – The security level used for the user:

-noAuthNoPriv – There is no authentication or encryption used in SNMP communications. (This is the default for SNMPv3.)

-AuthNoPriv – SNMP communications use authentication, but the data is not encrypted (only available for the SNMPv3 security model).

-AuthPriv – SNMP communications use both authentication and encryption (only available for the SNMPv3 security model).

•Authentication Protocol – The method used for user authentication. (Options: MD5, SHA; Default: MD5)
