Usage Guidelines

Maximum number of SNMP groups supported is 10.

SNMP SET is no longer allowed. Therefore, when configured, the write view will not take effect.

Examples

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

device(config)# snmp-server group group1 v3 auth read myview write myview notify myview
device(config)# snmp-server group group2 v3 noauth read all write all notify all
device(config)# snmp-server group group3 v3 auth
 

The following example removes the configured SNMP server groups.

device(config)# no snmp-server group test1 v3 auth
device(config)# no snmp-server group TEST1 v3 auth read myview write myview
device(config)# no snmp-server group TEST2 v3 noauth read all write all notify all 

The following examples shows the message that is displayed when trying to use the write configuration on a group.

 SLX(config)# snmp-server group group2_test v2c read view_all write view_all notify view_all
% Info: SNMP set operation is not supported. write view configured will not take effect.
