create snmp user
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> - 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> - 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.
Restrictions Only administrator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To create an SNMP user on the Switch:
DES-3026:4#create snmp user dlink default encrypted
by_password auth md5 auth_password priv none
Command: create snmp user dlink default encrypted
by_password auth md5 auth_password priv none
Success.
