createUser nmis8 MD5 nmis4242 DES nmis4242
rouser nmis8 priv 1.3.6.1 |
The commands above will create a user called nmis8, with an authorisation password of nmis4242 and a privilege password of nmis4242
The view of 1.3.6.1, will permit access to the Standard MIB and the Enterprise MIB, essentially providing full access.
