create snmp user
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 the agent.
• <priv_key 32-32> - Enter an alphanumeric key string of exactly 32
characters, in hex form, that will be used to encrypt the contents of
messages the host sends to the agent.
none – Adding this parameter will add no encryption.
Restrictions Only Administrator and Operator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To create an SNMP user on the Switch:
DES-3526:admin#
create snmp user dlink default encrypted by_password
auth md5 canadian priv none
Command: create snmp user dlink default encrypted by_password auth
md5 canadian priv none
Success.
DES-3526:admin#
delete snmp user
Purpose Used to remove an SNMP user from an SNMP group and also to
delete the associated SNMP group.
