Configuring SNMP
Group-Based SNMP Access
Note
Because a group is a standard SNMP term used industry-wide, roles are referred to as groups in this SNMP
section.
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.
For more information about supported MIBs, see the following URL:

Cisco NX-OS does not support the SNMPv3 noAuthNoPriv security level.
