Groups

Users can be created and placed into a group. There are two parameters to configure: authentication and privacy. The selected authentication and privacy policy must match the group security level. For example, if an SNMP user is configured for MD5 authentication and its group does not allow authentication, an error message appears.

Duplicate user names or group names is not allowed.

User—Specifies the SNMP v3 security name. The security name represents the user in a format that is Security Model-independent.

Group—Specifies the name of the group to which the SNMP v3 user is associated. Assigning users to different groups allows the users to have different access rights.

Auth Type—The SNMP v3 authentication protocol.

Passphrase—The SNMP v3 authentication password.

Priv Type—The SNMP v3 privacy protocol.

Passphrase—The SNMP v3 privacy password.

Action—Click Add to add the SNMP v3 user; click Delete to remove the SNMP v3 user.

GroupName—Enter a name for the group.

SecurityLevel—Select a security level:

noAuthNoPriv—The group does not use authentication protocol and privacy protocol.

authNoPriv—The group is using authentication protocol, but is not using privacy protocol.

authPriv—The group is using authentication protocol and privacy protocol.

Write View—Assigns write-access to users of this group.

Action—Click Add to add the group; click Delete to remove the group.

Group List—A list of the available groups that the SNMP v3 users can be assigned to.
