To configure an SNMP user name, enter the following command:
User configuration:
Users can be configured to use the authentication/privacy options. The G8000 supports two
authentication algorithms: MD5 and SHA, as specified in the following command:
1. To configure a user with name 'admin,' authentication type MD5, and authentication
password of 'admin,' privacy option DES with privacy password of 'admin,' use the fol-
lowing CLI commands.
2. Configure a user access group, along with the views the group may access. Use the access
table to configure the group’s access level.
Because the read view, write view, and notify view are all set to “iso,” the user type has access
to all private and public MIBs.
