Configuring a Community String
SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c community strings are used to define the relationship between an 
SNMP manager and agent. The community string acts like a password to permit access to 
the agent. The access granted with a community string is restricted to the scope of the 
configured group. 
One or more of the following characteristics associated with the string can be specified:
• read-only, read-write, and read-write-all permission for the MIB objects accessible 
to the community
• the SNMP version, SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c
Default access features are preconfigured by the agent for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c.
Use the following CLI syntax to configure community options:
CLI Syntax: config>system>security>snmp
community community-string [hash | hash2] access-
permissions [version SNMP version]
