Figure 1-16. SNMPv3 User Security Model

User Name — Contains a list of user-defined user names. The field range is up to 30 alphanumeric characters.

Engine (5-32 Hex Characters Pairs) — Indicates either the local or remote SNMP entity, to which the user is connected. Changing or removing the local SNMP Engine ID deletes the SNMPv3 User Database.

Group Name — Contains a list of user-defined SNMP groups. SNMP groups are defined in the Access Control Group page.

Authentication Method — The authentication method used to authenticate users. The possible field values are:

MD5 Key — Users are authenticated using the HMAC-MD5 algorithm.

SHA Key — Users are authenticated using the HMAC-SHA-96 authentication level.

MD5 Password — Indicates that HMAC-MD5-96 password is used for authentication. The user should enter a password.

SHA Password — Users are authenticated using the HMAC-SHA-96 authentication level. The user should enter a password.
