create snmp user
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.
