6.4 Assigning the USM Group Access Level
The next step is to assign the access level to the USM Group. One of the following three USM
access levels must be configured:
NoAuthNoPriv-Communication without authentication and privacy
AuthNoPriv-Communication with authentication (MD5 or SHA) and without privacy
AuthPriv-Communication with authentication (MD5 or SHA) and privacy (DES or AES in
release 4.1)
The ERS 8600 has a number of default groups, with one default USM group named ‘initial’. The
default groups can be examined by typing in the following command:
ERS-8610:5# config snmp-v3 group-access info

sBladeGrp snmpv2c noAuthNoPriv sBladeView sBladeView sBladeView
OpsQosPolicyUser usm noAuthNoPriv org org org
9 out of 9 Total entries displayed------------------------------------------------
The default USM level, named ‘initial’, has both authentication and encryption (authPriv) with full
read-write views. You can use this group for initial SNMPv3 access to the ERS 8600. The name
of the read-write view starts at ‘org’ – please see next step in regards to setting up the MIB view.
To set the SNMP USM security level, type in the following command:
ERS-8610:5# config snmp-v3 group-access create [group name <0-32>] [prefix <0-
32>] usm [noAuthNoPriv|authNoPriv|authPriv]
Example: the following will add USM security level of ‘authPriv’ to the USM group named
‘group_example’:
ERS-8610:5# config snmp-v3 group-access create group_example "" usm authPriv
NOTE: The prefix entered above is entered using double quotes. If you wish, you can define the
‘exact’ context match that should be matched against the context of the incoming PDU; i.e. exact
prefix match of read or write. There is no read or write view associated with the group yet. This
will be defined in the next step.
