The Group Membership screen provides information for assigning SNMP access control privileges to SNMP
groups.
User name. Provides a user-defined local user list.
Engine ID. Indicates either the local or remote SNMP entity to which the user is connected. Changing or removing
the local SNMP Engine ID deletes the SNMPv3 User Database.
• Local. Indicates that the user is connected to a local SNMP entity.
• Remote. Indicates that the user is connected to a remote SNMP entity. If the Engine ID is defined, remote
devices receive inform messages.
Group Name. Contains a list of user-defined SNMP groups. SNMP groups are defined in the SNMP Group Profile
page.
Authentication Method. Indicates the Authentication method used. The possible field values are:
• None. Indicates that no authentication method is used to authenticate the port.
• MD5 Password. Indicates that port authentication is performed via HMAC-MD5-96 password
authentication.
• SHA Password. Indicates that port authentication is performed via HMAC-SHA-96 password
authentication.
• MD5 Key. Indicates that port authentication is performed via the HMAC-MD5 algorithm.
• SHA Key. Indicates that port authentication is performed via HMAC-SHA-96 authentication.
Password. Define the local user password. Local user passwords can contain up to 159 characters.
Authentication Key. Defines the HMAC-MD5-96 or HMAC-SHA-96 authentication level. The authentication and
privacy keys are entered to define the authentication key. If only authentication is required, 16 bytes are defined.
If both privacy and authentication are required, 32 bytes are defined. Each byte in hexadecimal character strings
is two hexadecimal digits. Each byte can be separated by a period or a colon.
Privacy Key. Defines the Privacy Key (LSB). If only authentication is required, 20 bytes are defined. If both privacy
and authentication are required, 36 bytes are defined. Each byte in hexadecimal character strings is two
hexadecimal digits. Each byte can be separated by a period or colon.
