     Table 3 User parameters

     Parameter	Description
     User Name	Specifies a user name.
     Security Level	Specifies the security level for the user.
     Authentication protocol	Sets the authentication protocol to SHA or MD5. This parameter is available only when Security Level is set to Auth & no-encrypt or Auth & encrypt.
     Authentication password	Specifies an authentication password for the user. This parameter is available only when Security Level is set to Auth & no-encrypt or Auth & encrypt.
     Encryption protocol	Sets the encryption protocol to DES-56, AES-128, AES-192, AES-256, or 3DES. This parameter is available only when Security Level is set to Auth & encrypt. NOTE: For higher security purposes, the DES-56 or 3DES algorithm is not recommended. If the DES-56 or 3DES algorithm is used, do not use passwords composed of repeated character strings. For example, in str*n, str is a repeated character string and n indicates the number of times this string repeats. Otherwise, the passwords containing any times of str can pass authentication. For example, if the password is Huawei@123Huawei@123, passwords Huawei@123Huawei@123, and Huawei@123Huawei@123Huawei@123 can all pass authentication.
     Encryption password	Specifies an encryption password for the user. This parameter is available only when Security Level is set to Auth & encrypt.
     ACL	Specifies the ACL number matching the user. Click and select an ACL in the dialog box.
     Group Name	Specifies an SNMP group name.
