Usage guidelines
This command is not available in FIPS mode.
Only users with the network-admin or level-15 user role can execute this command. Users with other
user roles cannot execute this command even if these roles are granted access to this command or
commands of the SNMP feature.
An SNMP community is identified by a community name. It contains a set of NMSs and SNMP
agents. Devices in an SNMP community authenticate each other by using the community name. An
NMS and an SNMP agent can communicate only when they use the same community name.
Typically, public is used as the read-only community name and private is used as the read and write
community name. To enhance security, you can assign your SNMP communities a name other than
public and private.
