SNMP 67
SNMP Community Configuration
Access rights are managed by defining communities on the SNMP Community Configuration page.
When the community names are changed, access rights are also changed. SNMP Communities are
defined only for SNMP v1 and SNMP v2.
Use the SNMP Community Configuration page to enable SNMP and Authentication notifications.
To display the Community Configuration page, click Switching > SNMP in the navigation pane, and
ensure that the Community tab is selected.

Click Apply to update the switch configuration. Your changes take effect immediately but are not
retained across a switch reset unless you click Save Configuration.
Field Description
Community Name Community name used in SNMPv1/v2 packets. This is configured in the client and identifies
the access the user may connect with.
Security Name Identifies the Security entry that associates Communities and Groups for a specific access
type.
Group Name Identifies the Group associated with this Community entry.
Community Access Specifies the access control policy for the community. The default access privileges are as
follows:
DefaultRead: Access to the entire MIB tree except to SNMP configuration objects.
DefaultWrite: Access to the entire MIB tree except to SNMP configuration objects.
DefaultSuper: Access to the entire MIB tree.
For more information about controlling access to objects, see “SNMP View Entry” on page 76.
Community View Specifies the community view for the community. If the value is empty, then no access is
granted.
A view is used to restrict or grant access to specific MIB trees. For example, it is possible to
define a view to grant access to the mib-2 tree but deny access to the RMON MIB subtree,
or a view could allow access to only the RADIUS Accounting and Authentication MIBs
(SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.67.2.2 and SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.67.1.2). In this way, it is possible to
define a community that has access rights of a (restricted) view.
IP Address Specifies the IP address that can connect with this community.
