To send inform messages to an SNMPv3 user on a remote device, you
must first specify the engine identifier for the SNMP agent on the remote
device where the user resides. The remote engine ID is used to compute
the security digest for authenticating and encrypting packets sent to a user
on the remote host.
Command Attributes
• User Name – The name of user connecting to the SNMP agent.
(Range: 1-32 characters)
• Group Name – The name of the SNMP group to which the user is
assigned. (Range: 1-32 characters)
• Engine ID – The engine identifier for the SNMP agent on the remote
device where the remote user resides. Note that the remote engine
identifier must be specified before you configure a remote user. (See
“Specifying a Remote Engine ID” on page 44.)
• Model – The user security model; SNMP v1, v2c or v3.
• Level – The security level used for the user:
- noAuthNoPriv – There is no authentication or encryption used in
SNMP communications. (This is the default for SNMPv3.)
- AuthNoPriv – SNMP communications use authentication, but the
data is not encrypted (only available for the SNMPv3 security
model).
- AuthPriv – SNMP communications use both authentication and
encryption (only available for the SNMPv3 security model).
• Authentication – The method used for user authentication.
(Options: MD5, SHA; Default: MD5)
• Privacy – The encryption algorithm use for data privacy; only 56-bit
DES is currently available.
Web – Click SNMP, SNMPv3, Remote Users. Click New to configure a
user name. In the New User page, define a name and assign it to a group,
then click Add to save the configuration and return to the User Name list.
To delete a user, check the box next to the user name, then click Delete.
