No - I don't think so. I think you're confusing two different concepts. You're using SNMPv2c to issue the command, but the 'sec2group' entry that you've created actually refers to SNMPv3 (which isn't actually relevant to 'sec2group' anyway). You probably need a command such as: snmpvacm -v2c -c public 10.254.24.227 createSec2Group 2 myGroup RWGroup ^^^ > b) Also I have created a view using command structure:: > "snmpvacm -v2c -c public 10.254.24.227 createView myView 1.3.6.1.2.1.1 fe" > I think this also needs an access to be created along with it because > without "createAccess" it does not identify the view. Is it right?? Yes, that's right (near enough). Creating a view entry defines what OID subtree is being referred to, but doesn't specify whether that subtree would be read-only, or read-write. > c) Is creating a rw/ro community in snmpv2 same as creating user in > snmpv2?? There's no such thing as a "user" in SNMPv2c.
