Configuration Guidelines and Limitations

Group-Based SNMP Access

Because group is a standard SNMP term used industry-wide, roles are referred to as groups in this SNMP
Note
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 user name is created, your roles are set up by your
administrator, and you are added to the roles.

Step 4

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 securityLevel parameter
of either noAuthNoPriv or authNoPriv.
