Dell SNMPv3 Users

SNMPv3 supports cryptographic security through a combination of authenticating and encrypting the SNMP protocol packets over the network. Read-only access is currently supported. The administrator user can add or remove SNMPv3 users.

Configuration commands

(switch(config)#) Configure a new SNMPv3 user (minimum eight characters for passwords):

snmp-server user <USER> cray-reds-group 3 auth md5 <A-PASS> priv des <P-PASS>

NOTE Removal of an SNMPv3 user is not possible on Dell equipment.
