Usage
Information
NOTE: For IPv6 ACLs, only IPv6 and UDP types are valid for SNMP. TCP and ICMP rules
are not valid for SNMP. In IPv6 ACLs port rules are not valid for SNMP.
No default values exist for authentication or privacy algorithms and no default password exists.
If you forget a password, you cannot recover it; the user must be reconfigured. You can specify
either a plain-text password or an encrypted cypher-text password. In either case, the
password is stored in 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.
