Description
Use the snmp-agent usm-user command to add a new user to an SNMP group.
Use the undo snmp-agent usm-user command to cancel a user from the SNMP
group.
While using SNMPv3, SNMP engineID (for authentication) is required when you
configure a remote user for an agent. If you change engineID after configuring a user,
the user corresponding to the original engineID is not effective.
For V1 and V2C, this command will add a new community name. For SNMPv3, it will
add a new user for an SNMP group.
Related command: snmp-agent group, snmp-agent community and snmp-agent
local-engineid.
Example
# Add a user John to SNMPv3 group Johngroup. Configure to authenticate using
HMAC-MD5 algorithm, require authentication and set authentication password as
hello.
<Quidway> system-view
System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.
[Quidway] snmp-agent group v3 Johngroup
