snmp-server user

Authorizes a user to access the SNMP agent and receive SNMP messages.

Syntax
snmp-server user user-name group-name security-model [[noauth | auth {md5 | sha} auth-password] [priv {des | aes} priv-password]] [localized] [access acl-name] [remote ip-address udp-port port-number]]
Parameters
  • user-name — Enter the name of the user. A maximum of 32 alphanumeric characters.
  • group-name — Enter the name of the group to which the user belongs. A maximum of 32 alphanumeric characters.
  • security-model — Enter an SNMP version that sets the security level for SNMP messages:
    • 1 — SNMPv1 provides no user authentication or privacy protection. SNMP messages are sent in plain text.
    • 2c — SNMPv2c provides no user authentication or privacy protection. SNMP messages are sent in plain text.
    • 3 — SNMPv3 provides optional user authentication and encryption for SNMP messages.
  • noauth — (SNMPv3 only) Configure SNMPv3 messages to send without user authentication and privacy encryption.
  • auth — (SNMPv3 only) Include a user authentication key for SNMPv3 messages sent to the user:
    • md5 — Generate an authentication key using the MD5 algorithm.
    • sha — Generate an authentication key using the SHA algorithm.
    • auth-password — Enter a text string used to generate the authentication key that identifies the user; a maximum of 32 alphanumeric characters maximum. For an encrypted password, you can enter the encrypted string instead of plain text.
  • priv — (SNMPv3 only) Configure encryption for SNMPv3 messages sent to the user:
    • aes — Encrypt messages using AES 128-bit algorithm.
    • des — Encrypt messages using DES 56-bit algorithm.
    • priv-password — Enter a text string used to generate the privacy key used in encrypted messages. A maximum of 32 alphanumeric characters. For an encrypted password, enter the encrypted string instead of plain text.
  • localized — (SNMPv3 only) Generate an SNMPv3 authentication and/or privacy key in localized key format.
  • access acl-name — (Optional) Enter the name of an IPv4 or IPv6 access list to filter SNMP requests on the switch. A maximum of 16 characters.
  • remote ip-address/prefix-length udp-port port-number — (Optional) Enter the IPv4 or IPv6 address of the user's remote device and the UDP port number used to connect to the SNMP agent on the switch, from 0 to 65535. The default is 162.

CONFIGURATION
Usage Information
Use the snmp-server user command to set up the desired security level for SNMP access. For SNMPv3 users, configure user authorization and message encryption. Re-enter this command multiple times to configure SNMP security settings for all users.

The group to which a user is assigned determines the user's SNMP access. To configure a group's SNMP access to the switch — read, write, and notify, use the snmp-server user command.

No default values exist for SNMPv3 authentication and privacy algorithms and passwords. If you forget a password, you cannot recover it — you must reconfigure the user. You can specify either a plain-text password or an encrypted cypher-text password. In either case, the password stores in the configuration in an encrypted form and displays as encrypted in the show running-config snmp output.

A localized authentication or privacy key is more complex and provides greater privacy protection. To display the localized authentication and privacy keys in an SNMPv3 user configuration, use the show running-configuration snmp command.

To limit user access to the SNMP agent on the switch, enter an access acl-name value. In IPv6 ACLs, SNMP supports only IPv6 and UDP types. TCP, ICMP, and port rules are not supported.

The no version of this command removes a user from the SNMP group.

NOTE: When you create or modify a password, the password string that you input appears as a string of asterisks instead of plain text.
Example (Encrypted passwords)
OS10(config)# snmp-server user privuser v3group v3 auth md5
9fc53d9d908118b2804fe80e3ba8763d priv des d0452401a8c3ce42804fe80e3ba8763d
Example (Plain-text passwords)
OS10(config)# snmp-server user authuser v3group v3 auth md5 authpasswd
Example (Remote user)
OS10(config)# snmp-server user n3user ngroup remote 172.31.1.3 udp-port 5009 3
auth md5 authpasswd
