Solaris System Management Agent Administration Guide

Creating and Managing Groups

Creating a large number of groups in SNMP causes management and administration of these groups to become very complex. If you create a large number of groups, troubleshooting these groups very difficult.


Note –

When groups or views are created by editing the snmpd.conf file, the storage type is permanent. If you edit the snmpd.conf file instead of using the snmpvacm command, entries for groups are permanent. You can delete the entries only by removing them from the snmpd.conf file.


Follow the examples provided in Using VACM for Access Control for creating and managing groups.
