Creating an SNMPv3 User

Applies to version(s): v2.8.

• Click Applications in the navigation panel.

• In the Application Configuration List, select tbsnmpagent.

• Click Application Params

• Click Create New SNMPv3 User

• In the user creation window:
  • Enter a unique name for the user
  • Click the check box to allow or disallow the write privilege for the current community
  • Click the security level drop-down box to select authentication and privacy settings
  • Click the authentication drop-down box to select the authentication algorithm to use
  • Enter a pass phrase in the password phrase text box to set an authentication pass phrase
  • Click the privacy protocol drop-down box to select the privacy standard to use
  • Enter a pass phrase in the privacy phrase text box to set a privacy pass phrase
  • Click Create

• Verify that the "SNMP user was successfully created" message is displayed and that the new user appears in the SNMPv3 Users list.
