Usage
Information
Use this command to set up the access privileges for a group of SNMP users. Configure the security level
for receiving SNMP messages. Specify read-only, read-write, and/or notification access to the SNMP
agent. To configure an SNMPv3 user's authentication and privacy settings, use the snmp-server
user command.
Enter an access acl-name value to limit access to the SNMP agent to only ACL-allowed users.
A read-view provides read-only access to the SNMP agent. A read-write view allows read-write access. A
notify-view allows SNMP notifications to be sent to group members.
Supported on the MX9116n and MX5108n switches in both Full Switch mode starting in release 10.4.2.0.
Also supported in SmartFabric mode starting in release 10.5.0.1.
The no version of the command deletes an SNMP group.

snmp-server host
Configures a host to receive SNMP notifications.
Syntax
snmp-server host {ipv4–address | ipv6–address} {informs version version-
number | traps version version-number | version version-number} [snmpv3-
security-level] [community-name] [udp-port port-number] [dom | entity |
envmon | lldp | snmp]
Parameters
● ipv4–address | ipv6–address — Enter the IPv4 or IPv6 address of the SNMP host.
● informs — Send inform messages to the SNMP host.
● traps — Send trap messages to the SNMP host.
● version version-number — Enter the SNMP security model used to send traps or informs to
the SNMP host — 1, 2c, or 3. All security models support traps; only 2c and 3 support informs. To
send only SNMP notifications, enter only a version-number; do not enter informs or traps. For
SNMPv3 traps and informs, enter the security level:
○ noauth — (SNMPv3 only) Send SNMPv3 traps without user authentication and privacy
encryption.
○ auth — (SNMPv3 only) Include a user authentication key for SNMPv3 messages sent to the
host:
￭ md5 — Generate an authentication key using the Message Digest Algorithm (MD5) algorithm.
￭ sha — Generate an authentication key using the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) algorithm.
￭ auth-password — Enter a text string used to generate the authentication key that identifies
the user. A maximum of 32 alphanumeric characters. For an encrypted password, enter the
encrypted string instead of plain text.
○ priv — (SNMPv3 only) Configure encryption for SNMPv3 messages sent to the host:
