- Notify—Limits the available content of the traps to those included in the
selected view. Otherwise, there is no restriction on the contents of the
traps. This can only be selected for SNMPv3.
Click Apply. The SNMP group is written to the Running Configuration file.
An SNMP user is defined by the login credentials (username, passwords, and
authentication method) and by the context and scope in which it operates by
association with a group and an Engine ID.
The configured user will have the attributes of its group, having the access
privileges configured within the associated view.
Groups enable network managers to assign access rights to a group of users
instead of to a single user.
A user can only belong to a single group.
To create an SNMPv3 user, the following must first exist:
• An engine ID must first be configured on the switch. This is done in the
Engine ID page.
• An SNMPv3 group must be available. An SNMPv3 group is defined in the
Groups page.
For security reasons, SNMP users are not saved to the configuration file. If SNMP
users are provisioned and you save the configuration, the SNMP users are not
retained; you must manually re-enter them.
To display SNMP users and define new ones:
Click SNMP > Users. The Users page is displayed.
This page displays existing users.
Click Add. The Add User page is displayed.
