Command Syntax and Usage
name <32 character name>
Defines the name of the group.
prefix <32 character name>
Defines the name of the context. An SNMP context is a collection of management information that
an SNMP entity can access. An SNMP entity has access to many contexts. For more information
on naming the management information, see RFC2571, the SNMP Architecture document. The
view-based Access Control Model defines a table that lists the locally available contexts by con-
textName.
model usm|snmpv1|snmpv2
Allows you to select the security model to be used.
level noAuthNoPriv|authNoPriv|authPriv
Defines the minimum level of security required to gain access rights. The level noAuthNoPriv
means that the SNMP message will be sent without authentication and without using a privacy pro-
tocol. The level authNoPriv means that the SNMP message will be sent with authentication but
without using a privacy protocol. The authPriv means that the SNMP message will be sent both
with authentication and using a privacy protocol.
match exact|prefix
If the value is set to exact, then all the rows whose contextName exactly matches the prefix are
selected. If the value is set to prefix then the all the rows where the starting octets of the con-
textName exactly match the prefix are selected.
