Parameters

Name Type In Required Description

engine_id

string

path

True

Engine ID of owning SVM or remote switch.

name

string

path

True

SNMP user name.

return_timeout

integer

query

False

The number of seconds to allow the call to execute before returning. When doing a POST, PATCH, or DELETE operation on a single record, the default is 0 seconds. This means that if an asynchronous operation is started, the server immediately returns HTTP code 202 (Accepted) along with a link to the job. If a non-zero value is specified for POST, PATCH, or DELETE operations, ONTAP waits that length of time to see if the job completes so it can return something other than 202.

Request Body

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 interfaces owned by an SVM. Otherwise, set to "cluster".

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.

snmp_user

An SNMP user can be an SNMPv1/SNMPv2c user or an SNMPv3 user. SNMPv1/SNMPv2c user is also called a "community" user. An SNMPv3 user, also called a User-based Security Model (USM) user, can be a local SNMPv3 user or a remote SNMPv3 user. A local SNMPv3 user can be used for querying ONTAP SNMP server over SNMPv3 and/or for sending SNMPv3 traps. The local SNMPv3 user used for sending SNMPv3 traps must be configured with the same authentication and privacy credentials on the traphost receiver as well. A remote SNMPv3 user is also configured on a remote switch and used by ONTAP SNMP client functionality to query the remote switch over SNMPv3. An SNMP user is scoped to its owning Storage Virtual Machine (SVM). Owning SVM could be a data SVM or the administrative SVM.
