Cisco Nexus 5600 Series - Group-Based SNMP Access; Licensing Requirements for SNMP; Guidelines and Limitations for SNMP

•
The password specified in the username command becomes the auth and priv passphrases for the
SNMP user.
•
If you create or delete a user using either SNMP or the CLI, the user is created or deleted for both SNMP
and the CLI.
•
User-role mapping changes are synchronized in SNMP and the CLI.
•
Role changes (deletions or modifications from the CLI) are synchronized to SNMP.
When you configure passphrase/password in localized key/encrypted format, Cisco NX-OS does not
synchronize the user information (passwords, rules, etc.).
Note
Group-Based SNMP Access
Because a group is a standard SNMP term used industry-wide, roles are referred to as groups in this SNMP
section.
Note
SNMP access rights are organized by groups. Each group in SNMP is similar to a role through the CLI. Each
group is defined with three accesses: read access, write access, and notification access. Each access can be
enabled or disabled within each group.
You can begin communicating with the agent once your username is created, your roles are set up by your
administrator, and you are added to the roles.
Licensing Requirements for SNMP
This feature does not require a license. Any feature not included in a license package is bundled with the Cisco
NX-OS system images and is provided at no extra charge to you. For a complete explanation of the Cisco
NX-OS licensing scheme, see the Cisco NX-OS Licensing Guide.
Guidelines and Limitations for SNMP
Cisco NX-OS supports read-only access to Ethernet MIBs.
