snmp-server community
Use this command to set up the community access string to provide access to
SNMP. Use the no form of the command to remove the specified community
string.
snmp-server community COMMUNITY-STRING [view VIEW-NAME] [ro | rw]
no snmp-server community COMMUNITY-STRING
Default There are two communities set in the default as shown below:
Community View Name Access right
private CommunityView Read/Write
public CommunityView Read Only
ro/rw: is set as read only (ro) if no [ro | rw] option is specified.
Command Mode Global configuration at privilege level 15
Usage Guideline This command creates a community entry in the community table.
This command provides a more user-friendly method to create a community
string for V1/V2 management.
If the view name specified by the command is different to “CommunityView” (a
default view), than a new view will be created. The other command that the user
can use to create a community string is the snmp-server user command. A
community string is unable to be deleted if it has been associated with an snmp-
server host.
Examples This example shows how to set the read/write community string to comaccess in
the mib2 view.
