Parameters
engineid: Engine ID, a string of 10 to 64 hexadecimal digits.
user-name: SNMPv3 username, a string of 1 to 32 characters.
group-name: Name of an SNMP group, a string of 1 to 32 characters.
Description
Use the display snmp-agent usm-user command to display the information about a specific type of
SNMPv3 users.
If you execute this command with no keyword specified, the information about all the SNMPv3 users is
displayed, including username, group name, engine ID, storage type and user status.
SNMPv3 introduced the concepts of username and group. You can set the authentication and privacy
functions. The former is used to authenticate the validity of the sending end of the packets, preventing
access of illegal users; the latter is used to encrypt packets between the NMS and agent, preventing the
packets from being intercepted. A more secure communication between SNMP NMS and SNMP agent
can be ensured by configuring whether to perform authentication and privacy or not.
You can configure whether to perform authentication and privacy when you create an SNMPv3 group,
and configure the specific algorithms and passwords for authentication and privacy when you create a
user.
