Description

Use the snmp-server user v3 command to configure SNMP access on a per-user basis for v3 security parameters.

Syntax

snmp-server user <username> v3 enable
no snmp-server user <username> v3 enable

snmp-server user <username> v3 auth {md5 | sha} <password>

snmp-server user <username> v3 auth {md5 | sha} <password> priv {des | aes-128} [<password>]

snmp-server user <username> v3 encrypted auth {md5 | sha} <password>

snmp-server user <username> v3 encrypted auth {md5 | sha} <password> priv {des | aes-128} [<password>]

snmp-server user <username> v3 prompt auth {md5 | sha} <password>

snmp-server user <username> v3 prompt auth {md5 | sha} <password> priv {des | aes-128} [<password>]

Arguments

auth	Configures SNMP v3 security parameters, specifying passwords in plaintext on the command line. NOTE: Passwords are always stored encrypted.
auth {md5 | sha} <password>	Configures the use of either the MD5 or SHA-1 hash algorithm, and sets a plaintext password to use for authentication. If followed by a carriage return, it uses the default privacy algorithm, with the same privacy password as that specified here for authentication. The default privacy program is AES-128.
priv {des | aes-128} [<password>]	Configures the use of either DES or AES-128 encryption for privacy. • If you don’t specify a password, it uses the same privacy password as that specified for authentication. • If you do specify a password, it is in plaintext.
enable	Enables SNMP v3 access for this user. Use the no form of this command to disable this user’s SNMP v3 access.
encrypted	Configures SNMP v3 security parameters, specifying passwords in encrypted form.
prompt	Configures SNMP v3 security parameters, specifying passwords securely in follow-up prompt rather than on the command line.

Defaults

The default privacy (encryption) program is AES-128.
