Configuring SNMPv3 Groups
SNMPv3 groups allow you to combine users into groups of different authorization and access privileges.
By default, the UAP has two groups:
•)
RO
— A read-only group using authentication and data encryption. Users in this group use an MD5 key/
password for authentication and a DES key/password for encryption. Both the MD5 and DES key/passwords
must be defined. By default, users of this group will have read only access to the default all MIB view, which can
be modified by the user.
•)
RW
— A read/write group using authentication and data encryption. Users in this group use an MD5 key/
password for authentication and a DES key/password for encryption. Both the MD5 and DES key/passwords
must be defined. By default, users of this group will have read and write access to the default all MIB view,
which can be modified by the user.
RW and RO groups are defined by default.
Note:
The UAP supports maximum of eight groups.
To define additional groups, navigate to the
SNMPv3 Groups
page and configure the settings that the table below
describes.

SNMPv3 Groups Configuration
Field
Description
Name
Specify a name to use to identify the group. The default group names are RW and RO.
Group names can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters.
Security Level
Select one of the following security levels for the group:
•) 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 SNMPv3 Users page.
Write Views
Select the write access to management objects (MIBs) for the group:
•)
write-all
— The group can create, alter, and delete MIBs.
•)
write-none
— The group is not allowed to create, alter, or delete MIBS.
