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.

  • Default value: 1

  • Max value: 120

  • Min value: 0

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.
