Allied Telesyn AT-9724TS High-Density Layer 3 Stackable Gigabit Ethernet Switch • Command Line Interface Reference Manual
Used to create a new SNMP user and adds the user to an SNMP group that is also created by this command.
create snmp user <SNMP_name 32> <groupname 32> {encrypted [by_password auth
[md5 <auth_password 8-16> | sha <auth_password 8-20>] priv [none | des
<priv_password 8-16>] | by_key auth [md5 <auth_key 32-32> | sha <auth_key 40-40>]
priv [none | des <priv_key 32-32>]]}
The create snmp user command creates a new SNMP user and adds the user to an SNMP group that is
also created by this command. SNMP ensures:
Message integrity – Ensures that packets have not been tampered with during transit.
Authentication – Determines if an SNMP message is from a valid source.
Encryption – Scrambles the contents of messages to prevent it from being viewed by an unauthorized source.
create snmp view <view_name 32> <oid> view
<username 32> – An alphanumeric name of up to 32 characters that will identify the new SNMP user.
<groupname 32> – An alphanumeric name of up to 32 characters that will identify the SNMP group the new
SNMP user will be associated with.
encrypted – Allows the user to choose a type of authorization for authentication using SNMP.The user may
choose:
by_password – Requires the SNMP user to enter a password for authentication and privacy.The password is
defined by specifying the auth_password below.This method is recommended.
by_key – Requires the SNMP user to enter a encryption key for authentication and privacy.The key is defined
by specifying the key in hex form below.This method is not recommended.
auth – The user may also choose the type of authentication algorithms used to authenticate the snmp user.The
choices are:
md5 – Specifies that the HMAC-MD5-96 authentication level will be used. md5 may be utilized by entering one
of the following:
<auth password 8-16> – An alphanumeric sting of between 8 and 16 characters that will be used to authorize
the agent to receive packets for the host.
<auth_key 32-32> – Enter an alphanumeric sting of exactly 32 characters, in hex form, to define the key that
will be used to authorize the agent to receive packets for the host.
sha – Specifies that the HMAC-SHA-96 authentication level will be used.
<auth password 8-20> – An alphanumeric sting of between 8 and 20 characters that will be used to authorize
the agent to receive packets for the host.
<auth_key 40-40> – Enter an alphanumeric sting of exactly 40 characters, in hex form, to define the key that
will be used to authorize the agent to receive packets for the host.
priv – Adding the priv (privacy) parameter will allow for encryption in addition to the authentication algorithm
for higher security.The user may choose:
des – Adding this parameter will allow for a 56-bit encryption to be added using the DES-56 standard using:
<priv_password 8-16> – An alphanumeric string of between 8 and 16 characters that will be used to encrypt
the contents of messages the host sends to the agent.
<priv_key 32-32> – Enter an alphanumeric key string of exactly 32 characters, in hex form, that will be used to
encrypt the contents of messages the host sends to the agent.
none – Adding this parameter will add no encryption.
Only administrator-level users can issue this command.
