User Guidelines

If auth-md5 or auth-sha is specified, both authentication and privacy are enabled for the user.

When a show running-config Privileged EXEC mode command is entered, a line for this user will not be
displayed. To see if this user has been added to the configuration, type the show snmp users Privileged EXEC
mode command.

An SNMP EngineID has to be defined to add SNMP users to the device. Changing or removing the SNMP
EngineID value deletes SNMPv3 users from the device’s database.

The remote engineid designates the remote management station and should be defined to enable the device to
receive informs.
