SNMP User
Follow these steps to create an SNMP user:
1) Specify the user name, user type and the group which the user belongs to. Set the
security model according to the related parameters of the specified group. If you
choose SNMPv3, you need to configure the security level.
User Name
Set the SNMP user name. You may use 1 to 16 characters. For different entries,
user names cannot be the same.
User Type
Choose a user type to indicate the location of the user. The default is Local User.
Local User:
The user resides on the local engine, which is the SNMP Agent of the
switch.
Remote User:
The user resides on a remote engine, which is the SNMP Agent of
some other device. For this user type, you need to set the remote engine ID first.
Group Name
Choose the group that the user belongs to. Users with the same Group Name,
Security Model and Security Level will be in the same group.
