- RWAuth - A read/write group using authentication, but no data
encryption. Users in this group send SNMP messages that use an MD5
key/password for authentication, but not a DES key/password for
encryption.
- RWPriv - A read/write group using authentication and data encryption.
Users in this group send SNMP messages that use an MD5 key/
password for authentication and a DES key/password for encryption.
Both the MD5 and DES key/passwords must be defined.
• The command prompts for the following information to configure an SNMP
v3 user:
- user-name - A user-defined string for the SNMP user. (32 characters
maximum)
- group-name - The name of the SNMP group to which the user is
assigned (32 characters maximum). There are three pre-defined groups:
RO, RWAuth, or RWPriv.
- auth-proto - The authentication type used for user authentication: md5 or
none.
- auth-passphrase - The user password required when authentication is
used (8 – 32 characters).
- priv-proto - The encryption type used for SNMP data encryption: des or
none.
- priv-passphrase - The user password required when data encryption is
used (8 – 32 characters).
• Users must be assigned to groups that have the same security levels. If a
user who has "AuthPriv" security (uses authentication and encryption) is
assigned to a read-only (RO) group, the user will not be able to access the
database. An AuthPriv user must be assigned to the RWPriv group with the
AuthPriv security level.
• To configure a user for the RWAuth group, you must include the auth-proto
and auth-passphrase keywords.
• To configure a user for the RWPriv group, you must include the auth-proto,
auth-passphrase, priv-proto, and priv-passphrase keywords.
