Purpose
Used to create a new SNMP group, or a table that maps SNMP users
to SNMP views.
Syntax
create snmp group <groupname 32> [v1 | v2c | v3 [noauth_nopriv
| auth_nopriv | auth_priv]] {read_view <view_name 32> |
write_view <view_name 32> | notify_view <view_name 32>}
Description The
create snmp group
command creates a new SNMP group, or a
table that maps SNMP users to SNMP views.
Parameters
<groupname 32>
An alphanumeric name of up to 32 characters that
will identify the SNMP group the new SNMP user will be associated
with.
v1
– Specifies that SNMP version 1 will be used. The Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP), version 1, is a network management
protocol that provides a means to monitor and control network
devices.

supports both centralized and distributed network management
strategies. It includes improvements in the Structure of Management

adds:
Message
integrity
Ensures that packets have not been
tampered with during transit.

valid source.
Encryption
Scrambles the contents of messages to prevent
it being viewed by an unauthorized source.
noauth_nopriv
Specifies that there will be no authorization and no
encryption of packets sent between the Switch and a remote SNMP
manager.
auth_nopriv
Specifies that authorization will be required, but there
will be no encryption of packets sent between the Switch and a
remote SNMP manager.
auth_priv
Specifies that authorization will be required, and that
packets sent between the Switch and a remote SNMP manger will be
encrypted.
read_view
– Specifies that the SNMP group being created can
request SNMP messages.
write_view
– Specifies that the SNMP group being created has write
privileges.
notify_view
Specifies that the SNMP group being created can
receive SNMP trap messages generated by the Switch’s SNMP
agent.
<view_name 32>
An alphanumeric string of up to 32 characters that
is used to identify the group of MIB objects that a remote SNMP
manager is allowed to access on the Switch.
