Predefined Groups
When you upgrade the switch from v5.x application software to v6.x, the
following predefined groups are created:
■normalRO—Provides read-only access to the normal view.
■normalRW—Provides read-write access to the normal view.
■adminRO—Provides read-only access to the admin view.
■adminRW—Provides read-write access to the admin view.
■initial—Provides read-only access to the restricted view. The
predefined user initial is assigned to this group.
■internet—Provides read-write access to the internet view, which is
created for administrative SNMPv3 users.
The internet group is accessible only by SNMPv3. You cannot use
CLI commands to access the group.
Do not assign the internet group to a community string. The group
requires both authentication and encryption, which community
strings do not support.
■noAccess—Provides only notify access to the internet vie w. Assign
community strings or users to this group when you want them to
receive trap messages, but not have read or write access.
Avaya recommends that you not modify these predefined groups.
When you upgrade the switch from v5.x application software to v6.x,
the existing community strings are assigned to these predefined
groups. If you modify them, the community strings may lose their
access to the switch. For more information on the migration of
existing community strings, see “Migration of Existing Community
Strings.”
None of the predefined groups, except the internet group, require
authentication or encryption. Thus these groups are accessible by SNMPv1,
v2, or v3. The internet group, however, requires both authentication and
encryption and is accessible only by SNMPv3.
