Creating or Modifying a Group

Creating or Modifying a Group

To create or modify a group, use the following CLI command:

(configure)# snmp-server group <groupname> {noAuth | auth | priv} [read <readview>] [write <writeview>] [notify <notifyview>]

Table�25 provides an explanation of the command keywords and variables.

CAUTION: Avaya recommends that you not modify the predefined groups. When you upgrade the switch from v5.x application software to v6.x, the existing community strings are assigned to these predefined groups. If you modify them, the community strings may lose their access to the switch. For more information on the migration of existing community strings, see "Migration of Existing Community Strings."
