create snmp user

	Encryption − Scrambles the contents of messages to prevent it from
	being viewed by an unauthorized source.
Parameters	<username 32> − An alphanumeric name of up to 32 characters
	that will identify the new SNMP user.
	<groupname 32> − An alphanumeric name of up to 32 characters
	that will identify the SNMP group with which the new SNMP user
	will be associated.
	encrypted – Allows the user to choose a type of authorization for
	authentication using SNMP. The user may choose:
	•	by_password – Requires the SNMP user to enter a
		password for authentication and privacy. The password is
		defined by specifying the auth_password below. This
		method is recommended.
	•	by_key – Requires the SNMP user to enter a encryption
		key for authentication and privacy. The key is defined by
		specifying the key in hex form below. This method is not
		recommended.
	auth - The user may also choose the type of authentication
	algorithms used to authenticate the snmp user. The choices are:
	•	md5 − Specifies that the HMAC-MD5-96 authentication
		level will be used. md5 may be utilized by entering one of
		the following:
		<auth password 8-16>- An alphanumeric sting of
		between 8 and 16 characters that will be used to
		authorize the agent to receive packets for the host.
		<auth_key 32-32>- Enter an alphanumeric sting of
		exactly 32 characters, in hex form, to define the key that
		will be used to authorize the agent to receive packets for
		the host.
	•	sha − Specifies that the HMAC-SHA-96 authentication
		level will be used.
		<auth password 8-20>- An alphanumeric sting of
		between 8 and 20 characters that will be used to
		authorize the agent to receive packets for the host.
		<auth_key 40-40>- Enter an alphanumeric sting of
		exactly 40 characters, in hex form, to define the key that
		will be used to authorize the agent to receive packets for
		the host.
	priv – Adding the priv (privacy) parameter will allow for encryption in
	addition to the authentication algorithm for higher security. The user
	may choose:
	•	des – Adding this parameter will allow for a 56-bit
		encryption to be added using the DES-56 standard using:

<priv_password 8-16>- An alphanumeric string of between 8 and 16 characters that will be used to encrypt the contents of messages the host sends to
