Configuring SNMPv3 users for read-only access

If your storage system will be running SNMPv3, you should configure SNMPv3 users to have only read-only access to protect your MIBs from unauthorized modifications or deletions.

Steps

1. Enter this command to create a role with login-snmp capability: useradmin role add myrole1 -a login-snmp
2. Enter this command to create a group and add role myrole1 to that group: useradmin group add mygroup1 -r myrole1
3. Enter this command to create a user and add the user into mygroup1: useradmin user add myuser1 -g mygroup1

   You will be asked to enter a password for the new user. Be sure the password has at least eight characters.

4. Enter this command to run snapwalk through the system MIB: snmpwalk -v 3 -u myuser1 -l authNoPriv -A netapp123 <filer> system
