create snmp user
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 the new SNMP user will be associated with.
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 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-level users can issue this command.
