Network Management (SNMP) Commands
Extreme Networks EAS 100-24t Switch CLI Manual
69
Description This command is used to create 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 <SNMP_name 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 an encryption key for
authentication and privacy. The key is defined by specifying the key in hex
form. 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 string 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 string 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 string 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 string 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.
