SNMP authentication and access control
The features on this page apply to SNMP v1, v2c, and v3 unless noted otherwise:

Security Names - Identify an individual user (v1 or v2c only).

Secure Groups - Identify a security-name, security model by a group, and referred to by a group-name.

Secure Views - Create a custom view using the View-based Access Control Model (VACM) that controls who
can access which MIB objects under agent management by including or excluding specific Object Identifiers
(OIDs). For example, some users have access to critical read-write control data, while some users have access
only to read-only data.

Security Models - A security model identifies the SNMP version associated with a user for the group in which the
user resides.

Secure Access Policies - Defines who gets access to which type of information. An access policy contains
<group-name, security-model, security-level, read-view-name>:

read-view-name is a preconfigured view that applies to read requests by this security-name.

write-view-name is a preconfigured view that applies to write requests by this security-name.

notify-view-name is a preconfigured view that applies to write requests to this security-name.
An access policy is the configurable set of rules, based on which the entity decides how to process a given request.
