Snmp-Agent Calculate-Password - HP MSR1003-8S Command Reference Manual

Usage guidelines
The snmp-agent command is optional for an SNMP configuration task. The SNMP agent is automatically
enabled when you execute any command that begins with snmp-agent except for the snmp-agent
calculate-password command.
Examples
# Enable the SNMP agent.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] snmp-agent

snmp-agent calculate-password

Use snmp-agent calculate-password to calculate a digest for the ciphertext authentication or privacy key
converted from a plaintext key in SNMPv3.
Syntax
Non-FIPS mode:
snmp-agent calculate-password plain-password mode { 3desmd5 | 3dessha | md5 | sha }
{ local-engineid | specified-engineid engineid }
FIPS mode:
snmp-agent calculate-password plain-password mode sha { local-engineid | specified-engineid
engineid }

Parameters
plain-password: Specifies a plaintext authentication or privacy key.
mode: Specifies the same authentication mode and privacy mode as configured in the snmp-agent
usm-user v3 command. The encryption algorithms AES, 3DES, and DES are in descending order of
security strength. DES is enough to meet general security requirements. The MD5 authentication
algorithm is faster than SHA- 1 , while SHA- 1 provides higher security than MD5.
• 3desmd5: Converts the plaintext privacy key to an encrypted key for 3DES encryption used in
conjunction with MD5 authentication.
3dessha: Converts the plaintext privacy key to an encrypted key for 3DES encryption used in
•
conjunction with SHA- 1 authentication.
• md5: Converts the plaintext authentication key to a ciphertext key for MD5 authentication, or
converts the plaintext privacy key to a ciphertext key for AES or DES encryption used in conjunction
with MD5.
sha: Converts the plaintext authentication key to a ciphertext key for SHA- 1 authentication, or
•
converts the plaintext privacy key to a ciphertext key for AES or DES encryption used in conjunction
with SHA- 1 authentication.
local-engineid: Uses the local engine ID to calculate the ciphertext key. You can configure the local
engine ID by using the snmp-agent local-engineid command.
