createSec2Group MODEL SECURITYNAME GROUPNAME
Create an entry in the SNMPv3 security name to group table. This table allows a single access control
entry to be applied to a number of users (or 'principals'), and is indexed by the security model and
security name values.
MODEL
An integer representing the security model, taking one of the following values:
1 - reserved for SNMPv1
2 - reserved for SNMPv2c
3 - User-based Security Model (USM)
SECURITYNAME
A string representing the security name for a principal (represented in a security-model-
independent format). For USM-based requests, the security name is the same as the username.
GROUPNAME
A string identifying the group that this entry (i.e. security name/model pair) should belong to.
This group name will then be referenced in the access table (see createAccess below).
deleteSec2Group MODEL SECURITYNAME
Delete an entry from the SNMPv3 security name to group table, thus removing access control settings for
the given principal. The entry to be removed is indexed by the MODEL and SECURITYNAME values, which
should match those used in the corresponding createSec2Group command (or equivalent).
createView [-Ce] NAME SUBTREE MASK
Create an entry in the SNMPv3 MIB view table. A MIB view consists of a family of view subtrees which may
be individually included in or (occasionally) excluded from the view. Each view subtree is defined by a
combination of an OID subtree together with a bit string mask. The view table is indexed by the view
name and subtree OID values.
[-Ce]
An optional flag to indicate that this view subtree should be excluded from the named view. If
not specified, the default is to include the subtree in the view. When constructing a view from a
mixture of included and excluded subtrees, the excluded subtrees should be defined first -
particularly if the named view is already referenced in one or more access entries.
NAME
A string identifying a particular MIB view, of which this OID subtree/mask forms part (possibly
the only part).
SUBTREE
The OID defining the root of the subtree to add to (or exclude from) the named view.
MASK
A bit mask indicating which sub-identifiers of the associated subtree OID should be regarded as
significant.
deleteView NAME SUBTREE
Delete an entry from the SNMPv3 view table, thus removing the subtree from the given MIB view. Removing
the final (or only) subtree will result in the deletion of the view. The entry to be removed is indexed
by the NAME and SUBTREE values, which should match those used in the corresponding createView command (or
equivalent).
When removing subtrees from a mixed view (i.e. containing both included and excluded subtrees), the
included subtrees should be removed first.
createAccess GROUPNAME [CONTEXTPREFIX] MODEL LEVEL CONTEXTMATCH READVIEW WRITEVIEW NOTIFYVIEW
Create an entry in the SNMPv3 access table, thus allowing a certain level of access to particular MIB
views for the principals in the specified group (given suitable security model and levels in the
request). The access table is indexed by the group name, context prefix, security model and security
level values.
GROUPNAME
The name of the group that this access entry applies to (as set up by a createSec2Group command,
or equivalent)
CONTEXTPREFIX
A string representing a context name (or collection of context names) which this access entry
applies to. The interpretation of this string depends on the value of the CONTEXTMATCH field (see
below).
If omitted, this will default to the null context "".
MODEL
An integer representing the security model, taking one of the following values:
1 - reserved for SNMPv1
2 - reserved for SNMPv2c
3 - User-based Security Model (USM)
LEVEL
An integer representing the minimal security level, taking one of the following values:
1 - noAuthNoPriv
2 - authNoPriv
3 - authPriv
This access entry will be applied to requests of this level or higher (where authPriv is higher
than authNoPriv which is in turn higher than noAuthNoPriv).
CONTEXTMATCH
Indicates how to interpret the CONTEXTPREFIX value. If this field has the value '1' (representing
'exact') then the context name of a request must match the CONTEXTPREFIX value exactly for this
access entry to be applicable to that request.
If this field has the value '2' (representing 'prefix') then the initial substring of the context
name of a request must match the CONTEXTPREFIX value for this access entry to be applicable to
that request. This provides a simple form of wildcarding.
READVIEW
The name of the MIB view (as set up by createView or equivalent) defining the MIB objects for
which this request may request the current values.
If there is no view with this name, then read access is not granted.
WRITEVIEW
The name of the MIB view (as set up by createView or equivalent) defining the MIB objects for
which this request may potentially SET new values.
If there is no view with this name, then read access is not granted.
NOTIFYVIEW
The name of the MIB view (as set up by createView or equivalent) defining the MIB objects which
may be included in notification request.
Note that this aspect of access control is not currently supported.
deleteAccess GROUPNAME [CONTEXTPREFIX] MODEL LEVEL
Delete an entry from the SNMPv3 access table, thus removing the specified access control settings. The
entry to be removed is indexed by the group name, context prefix, security model and security level
values, which should match those used in the corresponding createAccess command (or equivalent).
createAuth GROUPNAME [CONTEXTPREFIX] MODEL LEVEL AUTHTYPE CONTEXTMATCH VIEW
Create an entry in the Net-SNMP extension to the standard access table, thus allowing a certain type of
access to the MIB view for the principals in the specified group. The interpretation of GROUPNAME,
CONTEXTPREFIX, MODEL, LEVEL and CONTEXTMATCH are the same as for the createAccess directive. The
extension access table is indexed by the group name, context prefix, security model, security level and
authtype values.
AUTHTYPE
The style of access that this entry should be applied to. See snmpd.conf(5) and snmptrapd.conf(5)
for details of valid tokens.
VIEW
The name of the MIB view (as set up by createView or equivalent) defining the MIB objects for
which this style of access is authorized.
deleteAuth GROUPNAME [CONTEXTPREFIX] MODEL LEVEL AUTHTYPE
Delete an entry from the extension access table, thus removing the specified access control settings.
The entry to be removed is indexed by the group name, context prefix, security model, security level and
authtype values, which should match those used in the corresponding createAuth command (or equivalent).
Note that snmpget REQUIRES an argument specifying the agent to query as described in the .I snmpcmd(1)
manual page.
