Access Control Group
Use this page to configure SNMP access control groups. These SNMP groups allow network manag-
ers to assign different levels of authorization and access rights to specific device features and their
attributes. The SNMP group can be referenced by the SNMP community to provide security and con-
text for agents receiving requests and initiating traps as well as for management systems and their
tasks. An SNMP agent will not respond to a request from a management system outside of its config-
ured group, but an agent can be a member of multiple groups at the same time to allow communication
with SNMP managers from different groups. Several default SNMP groups are preconfigured on the
system.
To access the Access Control Group page, click
Switching

Field
Description
Group Name
The name that identifies the SNMP group.
Context Name
The SNMP context associated with the SNMP group and its views. A user or a management
application specifies the context name to get the performance information from the MIB
objects associated with that context name. The Context EngineID identifies the SNMP entity
that should process the request (the physical router), and the Context Name tells the agent
in which context it should search for the objects requested by the user or the management
application.
