Table 2: Command Line Arguments
Parameter Command Line Flag
securityName -u NAME

privProtocol -x DES
authKey -A PASSPHRASE
privKey -X PASSPHRASE
securityLevel -l (noAuthNoPriv|authNoPriv|authPriv)

The host shown above allows us to look at it using any level of authentication. Any hosts you
set up should be more restricted than that and require at least a level of authNoPriv when you
configure the VACM access control.
Setting up your snmp.conf file to look like this, makes your commands much simpler:
defContext none
defSecurityName MD5User
defAuthPassphrase The UCD Demo Password
defVersion 3
defAuthType MD5
defSecurityLevel authNoPriv
COMMAND: snmpget test.net-snmp.org sysUpTime.0
RESPONSE: system.sysUpTime.3.0 = Timeticks: (83517052) 9 days, 15:59:30.52
