array[string]

query

False

Specify the fields to return.

return_timeout

integer

query

False

Response

Status: 200, Ok
Name Type Description

_links

_links

authentication_method

string

Optional authentication method.

comment

string

Optional comment text.

engine_id

string

Optional SNMPv3 engine identifier. For a local SNMP user belonging to the administrative Storage Virtual Machine (SVM), the default value of this parameter is the SNMPv3 engine identifier for the administrative SVM. For a local SNMP user belonging to a data SVM, the default value of this parameter is the SNMPv3 engine identifier for that data SVM. For an SNMPv1/SNMPv2c community, this parameter should not be specified in "POST" method. For a remote switch SNMPv3 user, this parameter specifies the SNMPv3 engine identifier for the remote switch. This parameter can also optionally specify a custom engine identifier.

name

string

SNMP user name.

owner

owner

Optional name and UUID of owning Storage Virtual Machine (SVM).

scope

string

Set to "svm" for data Storage Virtual Machine (SVM) SNMP users and to "cluster" for administrative SVM SNMP users.

snmpv3

snmpv3

Optional parameter that can be specified only for an SNMPv3 user i.e. when 'authentication_method' is either 'usm' or 'both'. This parameter defines the SNMPv3 credentials for an SNMPv3 user.

switch_address

string

Optional remote switch address. It can be an IPv4 address or an IPv6 address. A remote switch can be queried over SNMPv3 using ONTAP SNMP client functionality. Querying such a switch requires an SNMPv3 user (remote switch user) to be configured on the switch. Since ONTAP requires remote switch user's SNMPv3 credentials (to query it), this user must be configured in ONTAP as well. This parameter is specified when configuring such a user.
