CONFIGURING SNMPV3 GROUPS
SNMPv3 groups allow you to combine users into groups of different authorization and access privileges.
By default, the UAP has three groups:
•RO—A read-only group with no authentication and no data encryption. No security is provided by this group. By default,
users of this group will have read access to the default all MIB view, which can be modified by the user.
•RWAuth—A read/write group using authentication, but no data encryption. Users in this group send SNMP messages
that use an MD5 key/password for authentication, but not a DES key/password for encryption. By default, users of this
group will have read and write access to default all MIB view, which can be modified by the user.
•RWPriv—A read/write group using authentication and data encryption. Users in this group use an MD5 key/password
for authentication and a DES key/password for encryption. Both the MD5 and DES key/passwords must be defined. By
default, users of this group will have read and write access to default all MIB view, which can be modified by the user.
RWPriv, RWAuth, and RO groups are defined by default.
To define additional groups, navigate to the SNMPv3 Groups page and configure the settings that Table 36 on page 79
describes.
Table 35: SNMPv3 Views
Field Description
View Name Enter a name to identify the MIB view.
View names can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters.
Type Specifies whether to include or exclude the view subtree or family of subtrees from the MIB view.
OID Enter an OID string for the subtree to include or exclude from the view.
For example, the system subtree is specified by the OID string .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.
Mask The OID mask is 47 characters in length. The format of the OID mask is xx.xx.xx...or xx.xx.xx... and
is 16 octets in length. Each octet is 2 hexadecimal characters separated by either . (period) or :
(colon). Only hex characters are accepted in this field. For example, OID mask FA.80 is
11111010.10000000.
A family mask is used to define a family of view subtrees. The family mask indicates which sub-
identifiers of the associated family OID string are significant to the family's definition.
A family of view subtrees allows control access to one row in a table, in a more efficient manner.
SNMPv3 Views This field shows the MIB views on the UAP. To remove a view, select it and click Remove.
Note: After you configure the SNMPv3 Views settings, you must click Apply to apply the changes and to save the
settings.
