group-name: Specifies an SNMPv3 group name, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 32 characters.
remote { ip-address | ipv6 ipv6-address }: Specifies the IPv4 or IPv6 address of the remote SNMP entity.
To send SNMPv3 informs to an NMS, you must specify the IPv4 or IPv6 address of the NMS in the
snmp-agent usm-user v3 command and map the IPv4 or IPv6 address to the SNMP engine ID of the
NMS by using the snmp-agent remote command.
vpn-instance vpn-instance-name: Specifies the VPN for the target host receiving SNMP notifications. The
vpn-instance-name argument specifies the name of the MPLS L3VPN, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 31
characters. If this parameter is not specified, the target host is in public network.
cipher: Specifies that auth-password and priv-password are encrypted keys, which can be calculated to
a hexadecimal string by using the snmp-agent calculate-password command.
simple: Specifies that auth-password and priv-password are plaintext keys.
authentication-mode: Specifies an authentication algorithm. MD5 is faster but less secure than SHA.
• md5: Specifies the MD5 authentication algorithm.
• sha: Specifies the SHA-1 authentication algorithm.
auth-password: Specifies a case-sensitive plaintext or encrypted authentication key. In non-FIPS mode, a
plaintext key is a string of 1 to 64 visible characters. In FIPS mode, a plaintext key is a string of 15 to 64
visible characters, which must contain numbers, upper-case letters, lower-case letters, and special
characters. If the cipher keyword is specified, the encrypted authentication key length requirements differ
by authentication algorithm and key string format, as shown in Table 33.

privacy-mode: Specifies an encryption algorithm for privacy. AES is slower but more secure than DES.
• aes128: Specifies the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) algorithm.
• des56: Specifies the DES (Data Encryption Standard) algorithm.
priv-password: Specifies a case-sensitive plaintext or encrypted privacy key. In non-FIPS mode, a
plaintext key is a string of 1 to 64 characters. In FIPS mode, a plaintext key is a string of 15 to 64 visible
characters, which must contain numbers, upper-case letters, lower-case letters, and special characters. If
the cipher keyword is specified, the encrypted privacy key length requirements differ by authentication
algorithm and key string format, as shown in Table 34.

acl acl-number: Specifies a basic IPv4 ACL to filter NMSs by source IPv4 address. The acl-number
argument represents an ACL number in the range of 2000 to 2999. Only NMSs with an IPv4 address
