To configure an SNMP user name, enter the following command:
User Configuration:
Users can be configured to use the authentication/privacy options. The G8000 supports two
authentication algorithms: MD5 and SHA, as specified in the following command:
1. To configure a user with name 'admin,' authentication type MD5, and authentication password of
'admin,' privacy option DES with privacy password of 'admin,' use the following CLI commands.
2. Configure a user access group, along with the views the group may access. Use the access table to
configure the group’s access level.
Because the read view, write view, and notify view are all set to “iso,” the user type has access to all
private and public MIBs.
3. Assign the user to the user group. Use the group table to link the user to a particular access group.
