Usage guidelines
This command is not available in FIPS mode.
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.
The snmp-agent community command allows you to use either of the following modes to control
SNMP community access to MIB objects:
• View-based access control model—VACM mode controls access to MIB objects by
assigning MIB views to SNMP communities.
