User Guidelines

For SNMP v1 and v2, this command performs the same actions as snmp-

server community-group, except that snmp-server community-group

configures both v1 and v2 at the same time. With this command, you must

perform it once for v1 and once for v2.
When you enter the show running-config command, you do not see a line for

the SNMP user defined by this command. To see if this user has been added

to the configuration, type the show snmp user command.
A local SNMP EngineID must be defined in order to add SNMPv3 users to

the device (use the

snmp-server engineID remote

command). For remote

hosts users a remote SNMP EngineID is also required (use the

snmp-server

engineID remote

command).

Changing or removing the value of snmpEngineID deletes the SNMPv3

users’ database.
The logical key of the command is username.
Configuring a remote host is required in order to send informs to that host,

because an inform is a trap that requires acknowledgement. A configured

remote host is also able to manage the device (besides getting the informs)
To configure a remote user, specify the IP address for the remote SNMP agent

of the device where the user resides. Also, before you configure remote users

for a particular agent, configure the SNMP engine ID, using the

snmp-server

engineID remote

command. The remote agent's SNMP engine ID is needed
