Syntax:

  • For SNMP v1 and SNMP v2:
    snmpuserconfig -v 1|2 -r|-w --if <ipaddr or fqdn> [--old_ipaddrfqdn <ipaddr or fqdn>] -c<comm_name> [-o <comm_name>] --add | --delete | --change
where,
--if: IP address or fqdn of the polling system or '0.0.0.0' for IPV4 Any
-i: IP address or fqdn of the polling system or '0.0.0.0' for IPV4 Any. Valid IP addresses or '::' for ipV6 Any Valid IP addresses.
--old_ipaddrfqdn: previous destination fqdn or IP address (Only valid with Change option or required when changing the destination for an entry.)
-w: Read-write access
-d: Enter 'enable' or 'disable' for LSP dcedge tunneling
-i: Destination IP address
--old_ipaddr: Previous destination IP address
-c: v1/v2c community name
-o: Previous community name
--add: Add user
--delete: Delete user
--change: Modify user
  • For SNMP v3:
    snmpuserconfig -v 3 -r|-w -u <user> [-o <user>] [-sauthNoPriv | authPriv] [-a <auth_passwd>] [--auth_prot<protocol>][-p <priv_passwd>] [--priv_prot <protocol>] --add | --delete | --changesnmpuserconfig --help | -h
where,
-v: SNMP version (1, 2, 3)
-r: Read-only entry
-w: Read/write access
-u: v3 user name
-o: Previous community/user name (only valid with the change option, required when changing the user/community name.)
-s: v3 security model (authNoPriv, authPriv)
-a: v3 authentication password
--auth_prot: Authentication protocol
-p: v3 privacy password
--priv_prot: v3 privacy protocol (none, DES, AES128)
--add: Add user
--delete: Delete user
--change: Modify user
--auth_list: List supported authentication protocols
--priv_list: List supported privacy protocols
--rclist: List possible return codes from this command
--rccode: Obtain error string associated with a return code
--help | -h: Usage (this)
DEFAULT: snmpuserconfig called with no arguments will display the current configuration.
Note:
Using the -a and -p options with arguments on the command line poses a security risk as the passwords may be logged. Instead, use the -a and -p options without arguments to prevent the risk.
