Managing Users

Users are created by specifying a user name. Enabling the SNMPv3 default-user access allows an end user to access the MIBs using SNMPv3 default-user.By disabling default-users access, the end-user is not able to access the switch/MIBs using SNMPv3 default-user.

By disabling default-users access, the end-user is not able to access the switch/MIBs using SNMPv3 default-user.

To create a user, use the following command:
configure snmpv3 add user [[hex hex_user_name] | user_name] {authentication [md5 | sha] [hex hex_auth_password | auth_password]} {privacy {des | 3des | aes {128 | 192 | 256}} [[hex hex_priv_password] | priv_password]} }{volatile}

A number of default users are initially available. These user names are: admin, initial, initialmd5, initialsha, initialmd5Priv, initialshaPriv. The default password for admin is password. For the other default users, the default password is the user name.
To display information about a user, or all users, use the following command:
show snmpv3 user {[[hex hex_user_name] | user_name]}
To enable default-user, use the following command:
enable snmpv3 [default-group | default-user]
To disable default-user, use the following command:
disable snmpv3 [default-group | default-user]
To delete a user, use the following command:
configure snmpv3 delete user [all-non-defaults | [[hex hex_user_name] | user_name]]
Note
The SNMPv3 specifications describe the concept of a security name. In the ExtremeXOS implementation, the user name and security name are identical. In this manual, both terms are used to refer to the same thing.
