Usage Guidelines To change the SNMP password, a clear text CLI password is required. You must know the SNMPv3
password to change the password using the CLI.
The password specified in the username command is synchronized as the
for the SNMP user.
Deleting a user using either command results in the user being deleted for both SNMP and CLI.
User-role mapping changes are synchronized in SNMP and CLI.
The SSH X.509 certificate distinguished name (DN) is in fact the subject name in the certificate. You
need to extract the subject name from the certificate and specify the subject name as the argument to the
username command.
