create snmp user
Purpose
Used to create a new SNMP user and adds the user to an SNMP group that is also
created by this command.
Syntax create snmp user <username 32> <groupname 32> {encrypted [by_password
auth [md5 <auth_password 8-16> | sha <auth_password 8-20>] priv [none |
des <priv_password 8-16>] | by_key auth [md5 <auth_key 32-32> | sha
<auth_key 40-40>] priv [none | des <priv_key 32-32> ]]}
Description
The create snmp user command creates a new SNMP user and adds the user to
an SNMP group that is also created by this command. SNMP ensures:
Message integrity Ensures that packets have not been tampered with during
transit.
Authentication Determines if an SNMP message is from a valid source.
Encryption Scrambles the contents of messages to prevent it from being viewed
by an unauthorized source.
Parameters
<username 32> An alphanumeric name of up to 32 characters that will identify the
new SNMP user.
<groupname 32> An alphanumeric name of up to 32 characters that will identify
the SNMP group the new SNMP user will be associated with.
encrypted – Allows the user to choose a type of authorization for authentication
using SNMP. The user may choose:
by_password – Requires the SNMP user to enter a password for
authentication and privacy. The password is defined by specifying the
auth_password below. This method is recommended.
by_key – Requires the SNMP user to enter a encryption key for authentication
and privacy. The key is defined by specifying the key in hex form below. This
method 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.
