Field	Description
Index	Specifies a unique integer in the range 1 to 1023 to identify
	this SNMPv3 User on the Nortel SNAS 4050 cluster.
	This field cannot be changed after an SNMPv3 user is
	added.
Name	Specifies a name for the USM user. The name must be
	unique in the cluster.
Security Level	Specifies the degree of SNMP USM security. Valid options
	are:
	• none — SNMP access is granted without
	authentication.
	• auth — the SNMP user must provide a verified
	password before SNMP access is granted. You are
	later prompted to specify the required password (auth
	password). SNMP information is transmitted in plain
	text.
	• priv — the SNMP user must provide a verified
	password before SNMP access is granted, and all
	SNMP information is encrypted with the user’s
	individual key. You are later prompted to specify the
	required password (auth password) and encryption key
	(priv password).
Permission	Specifies the USM user’s privileges. Valid options are:
	• get — USM user is authorized to perform SNMP get
	requests (read access to the MIB).
	• set — USM user is authorized to perform SNMP set
	requests (write access to the MIB). Write access
	automatically implies read access as well.
	• trap — USM user is authorized to receive trap event
	messages and alarm messages.
	New SNMPv3 users are not granted any priviledges
	initially.
Authentication Password	Specifies the password for USM user authentication. The
	password is required if the security level is set to auth or
	priv. The password must be at least eight characters long.
Privacy Password	Specifies the USM user’s individual encryption key. The
	password is required if the security level is set to priv. The
	password must be at least eight characters long.
