Configure a new user to an SNMP group.
C9000 Series
Syntax
snmp-server user name {group_name remote ip-address udp-port port-number}
[1 | 2c | 3] [encrypted] [auth {md5 | sha} auth-password] [priv {des56 |
aes128} priv password] [access access-list-name | ipv6 access-list-name |
access-list-name ipv6 access-list-name]
To remove a user from the SNMP group, use the no snmp-server user name {group_name
remote ip-address udp-port port-number} [1 | 2c | 3] [encrypted] [auth {md5
| sha} auth-password] [priv {des56 | aes128} priv password] [access access-
list-name | ipv6 access-list-name | access-list-name ipv6 access-list-name]
command.
Parameters
name Enter the name of the user (not to exceed 20 characters), on the host that
connects to the agent.
group_name Enter a text string (up to 20 characters long) as the name of the group. The
following groups are created for mapping to read/write community/security-names
(defaults):
● v1v2creadu — maps to a community with ro permissions.
● 1v2cwriteu — maps to a community rw permissions.
remote ip-
address
Enter the keywords udp-port then the user datagram protocol (UDP) port
number on the remote device. The range is from 0 to 65535. The default is 162.
udp-port port-
number
Enter the keywords udp-port then the UDP (User Datagram Protocol) port
number on the remote device. The range is from 0 to 65535. The default is 162.
1 | 2c | 3 (OPTIONAL) Enter the security model version number (1, 2c, or 3):
● 1 is the least secure version.
● 3 is the most secure of the security modes.
● 2c allows transmission of informs and counter 64, which allows for integers
twice the width of what is normally allowed.
The default is 1.
encrypted (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword encrypted to specify the password appear in
encrypted format (a series of digits, masking the true characters of the string).
auth (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword auth to specify authentication of a packet

the agent to receive packets from the host. Minimum: eight characters long.
priv (OPTIONAL) Enter the keywords priv to initiate a privacy authentication level
setting.
des56 | aes128 (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword des56 or aes128 to specify the encryption

● aes128 — Use 128 bit AES algorithm in CFB mode for encryption.
● des56 — Use 56 bit DES algorithm in CBC mode for encryption.
