Description

Syntax Description

hex_group_name Specifies the group name to add or modify. The value is to be supplied as a colon separated string of hex octets.
group_name Specifies the group name to add or modify in ASCII format.
hex_user_name Specifies the user name to add or modify. The value to follow is to be supplies as a colon separated string of hex octets.
user_name Specifies the user name to add or modify in ASCII format.
sec-model Specifies the security model to use.
snmpv1 Specifies the SNMPv1 security model.
snmpv2c Specifies the SNMPv2c security model.
usm Specifies the SNMPv3 User-based Security Model (USM).
volatile Specifies volatile storage.

Default

The default values are:
  • sec-model—USM.

  • non-volatile storage.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to associate a user name with a group.

As per the SNMPv3 RFC, a security name is model independent while a username is model dependent. For simplicity, both are assumed to be same here. User names and security names are handled the same. In other words, if a user is created with the user name username, the security name value is the same, username.

Every group is uniquely identified by a security name and security model. So the same security name can be associated to a group name but with different security models.

Example

The following command associates the user userV1 to the group defaultRoGroup with SNMPv1 security:

configure snmpv3 add group defaultRoGroup user userV1 sec-model snmpv1

The following command associates the user userv3 with security model USM and storage type volatile to the access group defaultRoGroup:

configure snmpv3 add group defaultRoGroup user userV3 volatile
