Defining An Snmp User Account - Dell PowerConnect B-RX Configuration Manual

Configuring your NMS
NOTE
If you will be using a view other than the "all" view, that view must be configured before creating the
user group. Refer to
exclude parameters.

Defining an SNMP user account

The snmp-server user command does the following:
•
•
•
•
Here is an example of how to create the account.
BigIron RX(config)# snmp-s user bob admin v3 access 2 auth md5 bobmd5 priv des
bobdes
The CLI for creating SNMP version 3 users has been updated as follows.
Syntax: [no] snmp-server user <name> <groupname> v3
The <name> parameter defines the SNMP user name or security name used to access the
management module.
The <groupname> parameter identifies the SNMP group to which this user is associated or
mapped. All users must be mapped to an SNMP group. Groups are defined using the snmp-server
group command.
NOTE
The SNMP group to which the user account will be mapped should be configured before creating the
user accounts; otherwise, the group will be created without any views. Also, ACL groups must be
configured before configuring user accounts.
The v3 parameter is required.
The access <standard-acl-id> parameter is optional. It indicates that incoming SNMP packets are
filtered based on the ACL attached to the user account.
NOTE
The ACL specified in a user account overrides the ACL assigned to the group to which the user is
mapped. If no ACL is entered for the user account, then the ACL configured for the group will be used
to filter packets.

U.S. government. This standard is a symmetric cipher algorithm chosen by the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as the replacement for DES.
