create snmp user
source.
Encryption  Scrambles the contents of messages to prevent it from
being viewed by an unauthorized source.
<username 32>  An alphanumeric name of up to 32 characters that
Parameters
will identify the new SNMP user.
<groupname 32>  An alphanumeric name of up to 32 characters that
will identify the SNMP group with which the new SNMP user will be
associated.
encrypted – Allows the user to choose a type of authorization for
authentication using SNMP. The user may choose:
auth - The user may also choose the type of authentication algorithms
used to authenticate the snmp user. The choices are:
priv – Adding the priv (privacy) parameter will allow for encryption in
addition to the authentication algorithm for higher security. 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 a encryption key
for authentication and privacy. The key is defined by
specifying the key in hex form below. This method is not
recommended.
 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 sting 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 sting 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 sting 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 sting 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.

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.
