the configuration in an encrypted form and displayed as encrypted in the show running-config
command.
If you have an encrypted password, you can specify the encrypted string instead of the plain-text
password. The following command is an Example of how to specify the command with an encrypted
string.
NOTE: The number of configurable users is limited to 16.
Example
Dell# snmp-server user privuser v3group v3 encrypted auth md5

for user authuser of group v3group.
Example
Dell#conf
Dell(conf)# snmp-server user authuser v3group v3 auth md5 authpasswd
Usage
Information
The following command configures a remote user named n3user with a v3 security model and a security
level of authNOPriv.

snmp-server user (for AES128-CFB Encryption)
Specify that AES128-CFB encryption algorithm needs to be used for transmission of SNMP information. The Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES) Cipher Feedback (CFB) 128-bit encryption algorithm is in compliance with RFC 3826. RFCs for
SNMPv3 define two authentication hash algorithms, namely, HMAC-MD5-96 and HMAC-SHA1-96. These are the full forms or
editions of the truncated versions, namely, HMAC-MD5 and HMAC-SHA1 authentication algorithms.
Syntax
snmp-server user name {group_name remote ip-address udp-port port-number}
[1 | 2c | 3] [encrypted] [auth {md5 | sha} auth-password] [priv {des56
| aes128–cfb} priv– password] [access access-list-name | ipv6 access-list-
name | access-list-name ipv6 access-list-name]
To remove a user from the SNMP group, use the no snmp-server user name {group_name
remote ip-address udp-port port-number} [1 | 2c | 3] [encrypted] [auth {md5
| sha} auth-password] [priv {des56 | aes128–cfb} priv-password] [access
access-list-name | ipv6 access-list-name | access-list-name ipv6 access-
list-name] command.
Parameters
auth-password (OPTIONAL) Enter a text string (up to 20 characters long) password that enables
the agent to receive packets from the host and to send packets to the host.
Minimum: eight characters long.
aes128 (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword aes128 to initiate the AES128-CFB encryption
algorithm for transmission of SNMP packets.
priv-password (OPTIONAL) Enter a text string (up to 20 characters long) password that enables
the host to encrypt the contents of the message it sends to the agent and to
decrypt the contents of the message it receives from the agent. Minimum: eight
characters long.
