v1.0, July 2010
username snmpv3 encryption
This command specifies the encryption protocol used for the specified user. The valid encryption
protocols are des or none.
If you select des, you can specify the required key on the command line. The encryption key
must be 8 to 64 characters long. If you select the des protocol but do not provide a key, the user is
prompted for the key. When you use the des protocol, the login password is also used as the
snmpv3 encryption password, so it must be a minimum of eight characters. If you select none,
you do not need to provide a key.
The <username> value is the login user name associated with the specified encryption. You
must enter the <username> in the same case you used when you added the user. To see the case
of the <username>, enter the show users command.
no username snmpv3 encryption
This command sets the encryption protocol to none. The <username> is the login user name for
which the specified encryption protocol will be used.
show users
This command displays the configured user names and their settings. This command is only
available for users with Read/Write privileges. The SNMPv3 fields will only be displayed if
SNMP is available on the system.
