Defining SNMP Group Profiles

The Group Profiles screen provides information for creating SNMP groups, and assigning SNMP access control privileges to SNMP groups. Groups allow network managers to assign access rights to specific device features, or features aspects.

The Group Profiles screen contains the following fields:

•Group Name. Displays the user-defined group to which access control rules are applied.

•Security Model. Defines the SNMP version attached to the group. The possible field values are:

•SNMPv1 - SNMPv1 is defined for the group.

•SNMPv2 - SNMPv2 is defined for the group.

•SNMPv3 - SNMPv3 is defined for the group.

•Security Level. Defines the security level attached to the group. Security levels apply to SNMPv3 only. The possible field values are:

•No Authentication - Indicates that neither the Authentication nor the Privacy security levels are assigned to the group.

•Authentication - Authenticates SNMP messages, and ensures the SNMP messages origin is authenticated.

•Privacy - Encrypts SNMP message.

•Context. This indicates is the Group is inband (within the network) or out-of-band (outside the network).

•Operation. Defines the group access rights. The possible field values are:

•Read - The management access is restricted to read-only, and changes cannot be made to the assigned SNMP view.

•Write - The management access is read-write and changes can be made to the assigned SNMP view.

•Notify - Sends traps for the assigned SNMP view.
