10.7 SNMPv3
SNMPv3 provides three levels of access security named noAuthNoPriv, authNoPriv, and
authPriv. Security level noAuthNoPriv simply provides a username match for authentication.
Security level authNoPriv provide authentication based on ether MD5 or SHA algorithms while
authPriv add the addition of DES, 3DES, or AES encryption in addition to authentication.
To add a noAUthNoPriv user, simply enter the following command.
 ERS-Stackableconfig)# snmp-server user (user name) <write-
view|read-view|notify-view> (view name)
To add an authNoPriv security access level, enter the following command. Depending on the
switch, the password is either entered after the command or on the same line as the command
itself:
 ERS-Stackable(config)# snmp-server user (user name) <md5|sha>
<write-view|read-view|notify-view>
 ERS-Stackableconfig)# snmp-server user (user name) <md5|sha>
(password) <write-view|read-view|notify-view> (view name)
To add an authPriv security access level, enter the following command.
 ERS-Stackable(config)# snmp-server user (user name) md5
(password) <des|aes|3des> (privacy password) <write-view|read-
view|notify-view>

By default, there is a default authNoPriv account with a user name of initial and an MD5
password of initial. For security reasons, you may want to delete this user account by
issuing the command no snmp-server user initial.
