By default, if a user is created without indicating the read and write privileges and SNMP access, the user
will be given privileges based on the default user account. The default user account may be modified, but
by default it has the following privileges:
parameter

no snmp | no auth | sha | md5 |

Usage Guidelines
•
In addition to the syntax listed for the command, the syntax authkey key will display in an ASCII text
file produced via the snapshot command if the user is allowed SNMPv3 access to the switch.The
authentication key is in hexadecimal form, and is deducted from the user's password with SHA or
MD5 hash and encrypted with DES encryption. The key parameter only appears in configuration files
that are resulting from a snapshot. The key is computed by the switch based on the user's SNMP
access and will only appear in the ASCII text file; it is not displayed through the CLI. (This key is used
for both Auth Password and Priv Password in the OmniVista NMS application.)
•
At least one user with SHA/MD5 authentication and/or DES encryption must be configured on the
switch for SNMPv3 communication with OmniVista.
•
Use user username and password password to reset a user's password configured through the pass-
word command.
•
Typically the password should be a string of non-repeating characters. The CLI uses the first occur-
rence of the character series to uniquely identify the password. For example, the password tpubtpub is
the same as tpub. A better password might be tpub345.
•
Note that the exclamation point (!) is not a valid password character. In addition, specifying an aster-
isk (*) as one or more characters in a password is allowed as long as every character is not an asterisk.
For example, password **123456** is allowed; password ******** is not allowed.
