Configuring SNMP
Tabl e 5-1 lists all the predefined views, groups, and users.
Migration of Existing Community Strings
When you upgrade the switch from v5.x application software to v6.x, the
existing community strings are assigned to either a predefined group or, if
previously assigned to a custom access type, a group of the same name. All
community strings that had a security level of normal are assigned to either
the normalRO or normalRW group. All community strings that had a
security level of admin are assigned to either the adminRO or adminRW
group. All community strings that were assigned to a custom access type,
are assigned to a group of the same name; however, that group is not
automatically created. You must manually create the group.
Table 5-1. Predefined Views, Groups, and Users

that the normal security level
included. The view includes all the

objects that are administrator only.
normalRO—Provides read-only
access to the normal view. public
normalRW—Provides read-write
access to the normal view.
admin—Includes the MIB objects
that the admin security level
included. The view includes all the
supported MIBs including the
administrator-only objects. The
USM and VACM MIBs are not
included in the predefined admin
view.
adminRO—Provides read-only
access to the admin view.
adminRW—Provides read-write
access to the admin view.
restricted initial—Provides read-only access

internet—Includes all MIB
objects, including the USM and
VACM MIBs. The view is created
for administrative SNMPv3 users
and is assigned to the predefined
internet group, which provides
read-write access to the view.
internet
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.
