STEP 1 Select SNMP > Groups in the navigation pane.
STEP 2 Click Add to create a new row in the SNMPv3 Groups table.
STEP 3 Check the box for the new group and click Edit.
STEP 4 Configure the parameters:
• Group Name—A name that identifies the group. The default group names
are RO and RW.
Group names can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters.
• Security Level—Sets the security level for the group, which can be one of
these options:
- noAuthentication-noPrivacy—No authentication and no data
encryption (no security).
- Authentication-noPrivacy—Authentication, but no data encryption.
With this security level, users send SNMP messages that use an MD5
key/password for authentication, but not a DES key/password for
encryption.
- Authentication-Privacy—Authentication and data encryption. With this
security level, users send an MD5 key/password for authentication and a
DES key/password for encryption.
For groups that require authentication, encryption, or both, you must
define the MD5 and DES key/passwords on the SNMP Users page.
• Write Views—The write access to MIBs for the group, which can be one of
these options:
- view-all—The group can create, alter, and delete MIBs.
- view-none—The group cannot create, alter, or delete MIBs.
• Read Views—The read access to MIBs for the group:
- view-all—The group is allowed to view and read all MIBs.
- view-none—The group cannot view or read MIBs.
STEP 5 Click Save. The group is added to the SNMPv3 Groups list and your changes are
saved to the Startup Configuration.
NOTE To remove a group, select the group in the list and click Delete.
