An SNMP user is defined by the login credentials (username, passwords, and
authentication method) and by the context and scope in which it operates by
association with a group and an Engine ID.
The configured user has the attributes of its group, having the access privileges
configured within the associated view.
Groups enable network managers to assign access rights to a group of users,
instead of a single user. A user can only be a member of a single group.
To create an SNMPv3 user, an SNMPv3 group must be available. SNMPv3 group
can be defined on the SNMP > Groups page.
To define SNMP users:
Click SNMP > Users.
Click Add to create a new SNMP user and assign SNMP access control privileges
to the SNMP user.
Enter the following information:
•
User Name—Enter a name for the user.
•
Group Name—Choose the SNMP group to which the SNMP user belongs.
Users, who belong to groups which have been deleted, remain, but
NOTE
they are inactive.
•
Authentication Method—Select the authentication method that varies
according to the Group Name assigned. If the group does not require
authentication, then the user cannot configure any authentication. The
options are:
-
None—No user authentication is used.
-
MD5—Uses a MD5 password or key to do the authentication.
-
SHA—Uses a Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) password or key to do the
authentication.
•
Authentication Password—The password that is used for generating a key
by the MD5 or Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) authentication method.
Encrpted
-
—Select to enter an encrpted authentication password.
