NOTES
Issuing the setsnmpuser command results in the system prompting for a password. Type in the
password for the user and then press ENTER. The password will be used to generate an
authentication and privacy key using SHA1. The generated key is 160-bit in length. Only
HMAC-SHA-96 is supported for authentication protocol and only CFB128-AES-128 for privacy
protocol. If a key previously exists for the user, then the newly generated key will replace the
previous one.
