DES-1228/ME Layer 2 Metro Ethernet Switch CLI Reference Manual
Used to create a new SNMP group, or a table that maps SNMP users to SNMP views.
create snmp group <groupname 32> [v1 | v2 | v3 [noauth_nopriv | auth_nopriv |
auth_priv]]{read_view <view_name 32> | write_view <view_name 32> | notify_view
<view_name 32>}(1)
The create snmp group command creates a new SNMP group, or a table that maps
SNMP users to SNMP views.
<groupname 32> − An alphanumeric name of up to 32 characters that will identify the
SNMP group the new SNMP user will be associated with.
v1 – Specifies that SNMP version 1 will be used. The Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP), version 1, is a network management protocol that provides a means to
monitor and control network devices.
v2c – Specifies that SNMP version 2c will be used. The SNMP v2c supports both
centralized and distributed network management strategies. It includes improvements in
the Structure of Management Information (SMI) and adds some security features.
v3 – Specifies that the SNMP version 3 will be used. SNMP v3 provides secure access to
devices through a combination of authentication and encrypting packets over the network.
SNMP v3 adds:
Message integrity − Ensures that packets have not been tampered with during
transit.
Authentication − Determines if an SNMP message is from a valid source.
Encryption − Scrambles the contents of messages to prevent it being viewed
by an unauthorized source.
noauth_nopriv − Specifies that there will be no authorization and no encryption of packets
sent between the Switch and a remote SNMP manager.
auth_nopriv − Specifies that authorization will be required, but there will be no encryption
of packets sent between the Switch and a remote SNMP manager.
auth_priv − Specifies that authorization will be required, and that packets sent between the
Switch and a remote SNMP manger will be encrypted.
read_view – Specifies that the SNMP group being created can request SNMP messages.
write_view – Specifies that the SNMP group being created has write privileges.
notify_view − Specifies that the SNMP group being created can receive SNMP trap
messages generated by the Switch's SNMP agent.
<view_name 32> − An alphanumeric string of up to 32 characters that is used to identify
the group of MIB objects that a remote SNMP manager is allowed to access on the Switch.
Only Administrator-level users can issue this command.
