create snmp group
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.
notify_view Specifies that the SNMP group being created can
receive SNMP trap messages generated by the Switch’s SNMP
agent.
<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.
Restrictions Only Administrator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To create an SNMP group named “sg1:”
