Creating SNMPv3 Users

For each SNMPv3 user, you can specify the username, authentication type, authentication password, privacy type, and privacy password. After the password is entered, a key based on the engine ID and password is generated and is written to the configuration file. After key generation, the password is deleted from this file.

Note: You can only configure one encryption type for each SNMPv3 user.

To create users, include the user statement at the [edit snmp v3 usm local-engine] hierarchy level:


            
               [edit snmp v3 usm local-engine]
               user username;

username is the name that identifies the SNMPv3 user.

To configure user authentication and encryption, include the following statements at the [edit snmp v3 usm local-engine user username] hierarchy level:


            
               [edit snmp v3 usm local-engine user username] 
               
               authentication-md5 {
               
               authentication-password authentication-password;
               
               }
               authentication-sha {
               
               authentication-password authentication-password;
               
               }
               authentication-none;
               
               privacy-aes128 {
               
               privacy-password privacy-password;
               
               }
               privacy-des {
               
               privacy-password privacy-password;
               
               }
               privacy-3des {
               
               privacy-password privacy-password;
               
               }
               privacy-none;
