snmp-server group

Creates user-defined groups for SNMPv1/v2c/v3 and configures read, write, and notify permissions to access the MIB view.
Syntax
snmp-server group groupname { v1 | v2c } [ notify viewname ] [ read viewname ] [ write viewname ]
no snmp-server group groupname { v1 | v2c } [ notify viewname ] [ read viewname ] [ write viewname ]
snmp-server group groupname v3 { auth | noauth | priv } [ notify viewname ] [ read viewname ] [ write viewname ]
no snmp-server group groupname v3 { auth | noauth | priv } [ notify viewname ] [ read viewname ] [ write viewname ]
Command Default

Six default groups are supported to associate the default SNMPv3 user groups and the default SNMPv1/v2c community groups with the view configuration.

Note: This command is not used for SNMP version 1 and SNMP version 2. In these versions, groups and group views are created internally using community strings. When a community string is created, two groups are created, based on the community string name. One group is for SNMP version 1 packets, while the other is for SNMP version 2 packets.

Parameters
groupname
Specifies the name of the SNMP group to be created.
v1
Specifies SNMP version 1.
v2c
Specifies SNMP version 2.
v3
Specifies SNMP version 3.
auth
Specifies that only authenticated packets with no privacy are allowed to access the specified view. This parameter is available only for SNMPv3 user groups.
noauth
Specifies that no authentication and no privacy are required to access the specified view. This parameter is available only for SNMPv3 user groups.
priv
Specifies that authentication and privacy are required from the users to access the view. This parameter is available only for SNMPv3 user groups.
notify viewname
Specifies the name of the view that enables you to provide access to the MIB for trap or inform. This allows the administrators to restrict the scope of varbind objects that will be part of the notification. All of the varbinds need to be in the included view for the notification to be created.
read viewname
Specifies the name of the view that enables you to provide read access.
write viewname
Specifies the name of the view that enables you to provide both read and write access.
viewname
Specifies the name of the view to which the SNMP group members have access. If no view is specified, then the group has no access to the MIB. The default viewname is "all", which allows access to the entire MIB.
Modes

Global configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

Maximum number of SNMP groups supported is 10.

The no form of the command removes the configured SNMP server group.

Examples

The following example creates SNMP server group entries for SNMPv3 user group with auth permission.
