SNMPv3 provides a means of controlling the content each user can read or write and the notifications they
receive. A group defines read/write privileges and a level of security. It becomes operational when it is
associated with an SNMP user or community.
NOTE To associate a non-default view with a group, first create the view in the Views
page.
To create an SNMP group:
STEP 1 Click SNMP > Groups.
This page contains the existing SNMP groups and their security levels.
STEP 2 Click Add.
STEP 3 Enter the parameters.
• Group Name—Enter a new group name.
• Security Model—Select the SNMP version attached to the group, SNMPv1, v2, or v3.
Three types of views with various security levels can be defined. For each security level, select the views
for Read, Write and Notify by entering the following fields:
• Enable—Select this field to enable the Security Level.
• Security Level—Define the security level attached to the group. SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 support
neither authentication nor privacy. If SNMPv3 is selected, choose one of the following:
- No Authentication and No Privacy—Neither the Authentication nor the Privacy security levels are
assigned to the group.
- Authentication and No Privacy—Authenticates SNMP messages, and ensures the SNMP
message origin is authenticated but does not encrypt them.
- Authentication and Privacy—Authenticates SNMP messages, and encrypts them.
• View—Select to associate a view with either read, write, and/or notify access privileges of the group
limits the scope of the MIB tree to which the group has read, write, and notify access.
- Read—Management access is read-only for the selected view. Otherwise, a user or a community
associated with this group is able to read all MIBs except those that control SNMP itself.
- Write—Management access is write for the selected view. Otherwise, a user or a community
associated with this group is able to write all MIBs except those that control SNMP itself.
