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.
v2c
– Specifies that SNMP version 2c will be used. The SNMP v2c
supports both centralized and distributed network management
strategies. It includes improvements in the Structure of Management
Information (SMI) and adds some security features.
v3
– Specifies that the SNMP version 3 will be used. SNMP v3
provides secure access to devices through a combination of
authentication and encrypting packets over the network. SNMP v3
adds:
Message integrity
−
Ensures that packets have not been
tampered with during transit.
Authentication
−
Determines if an SNMP message is from a
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.
<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.
notify_view
−
Specifies that the SNMP group being created can
receive SNMP trap messages generated by the Switch’s SNMP agent.
Restrictions Only
