Enforcing Snmp Message Encryption; Assigning Snmpv3 Users To Multiple Roles - Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Configuration Manual

Configuring SNMP

Enforcing SNMP Message Encryption

You can configure SNMP to require authentication or encryption for incoming requests. By default, the SNMP
agent accepts SNMPv3 messages without authentication and encryption. When you enforce privacy, Cisco
NX-OS responds with an authorization error for any SNMPv3 PDU request using a security level parameter
of either noAuthNoPriv or authNoPriv.

Only users belonging to a network-admin role can assign roles to other users.
