2.Using the User pulldown menu, select Create to create a new user.
3.Enter a new user name in the User Name field.
4.Enter a new user password in the Password field and then retype it in the Confirm Password field.
Note: If SNMPv3 Authentication is to be used for this user, the password must be eight or more alphanumeric characters.
5.If you do not need authentication, go to Step 9.
6.To enable authentication, use the Authentication Protocol pulldown menu to select either MD5 or SHA for the authentication protocol.
7.If you do not need encryption, go to Step 9.
8.To enable encryption, use the Encryption Protocol pulldown menu to select DES for the encryption scheme. Then, enter in the Encryption Key field an encryption code of eight or more alphanumeric characters.
