  "label": "label",
  "version": "snmpv1 | snmpv2c | snmpv3",
  "description": "description",
  "port": "port",
  "community": "community",
  "userName": "userName",
  "authType": "AUTH_PRIV | AUTH_NO_PRIV | NO_AUTH_NO_PRIV",

  "authKey": "authKey",
  "privProtocol": "DES | 3-DES | AES-128 | AES-192 | AES-256 | AES-192-With3DESKeyExtension | AES-256-With3DESKeyExtension",
  "privKey": "privKey"
} ]

 

Eg: - 

[{
    "ip": "10.1.1.1-5",
