Item Description
Engine ID Type Specifies the engine ID type to be used.


Engine ID Each SNMPv3 agent has an engine ID that uniquely identifies the
agent in the device. If given this entry will be used only for packets
whose engine id is this. This field takes an hexadecimal string in the
form 0102030405.
User Name Specifies the name of the SNMP user being added for the User-based
Security Model (USM). Each user name must be unique within the
SNMP agent user list. A user name cannot contain any leading or
embedded blanks.
Group Name A SNMP group is a group to which hosts running the SNMP service
belong. A group name parameter is simply the name of that group by
which SNMP communities are identified. The use of a group name
provides some security and context for agents receiving requests and
initiating traps and does the same for management systems and their
tasks. An SNMP agent won't respond to a request from a manage-
ment system outside its configured group, but an agent can be a
member of multiple groups at the same time. This allows for commu-
nications with SNMP managers from different groups.
Authentication Specifies the authentication protocol to be used on authenticated
Method messages on behalf of the specified user.



Password Specifies the password used to generate the key to be used in
authenticating messages on behalf of this user. This parameter must
