Command Syntax and Usage
usm <usmUser number [1-16]>
This command allows you to create a user security model (USM) entry for an authorized user. You
can also configure this entry through SNMP. To view menu options, see page 193.
view <vacmViewTreeFamily number [1-128]>
This command allows you to create different MIB views. To view menu options, see page 194.
access <vacmAccess number [1-32]>
This command allows you to specify access rights.
The View-based Access Control Model
defines a set of services that an application can use for checking access rights of the user.
You need access control when you have to process retrieval or modification request from
an SNMP entity. To view menu options, see page 195.
group <vacmSecurityToGroup number [1-16]>
A group maps the user name to the access group names and their access rights needed to
access SNMP management objects. A group defines the access rights assigned to all
names that belong to a particular group. To view menu options, see
page 197.
