DES-3550 Layer 2 Fast Ethernet Switch
Used to create an SNMP community string to define the relationship between the
SNMP manager and an agent. The community string acts like a password to permit
access to the agent on the Switch. One or more of the following characteristics can be
associated with the community string:
An Access List of IP addresses of SNMP managers that are permitted to use the
community string to gain access to the Switch's SNMP agent.
An MIB view that defines the subset of all MIB objects that will be accessible to the
SNMP community.
read_write or read_only level permission for the MIB objects accessible to the SNMP
community.
create snmp community <community_string 32> view <view_name 32>
[read_only | read_write]
The create snmp community command is used to create an SNMP community string
and to assign access-limiting characteristics to this community string.
<community_string 32> − An alphanumeric string of up to 32 characters that is used to
identify members of an SNMP community. This string is used like a password to give
remote SNMP managers access to MIB objects in the Switch's SNMP agent.
<view_name 32> − An alphanumeric string of up to 32 characters that is used to identify
the group of MIB objects that a remote SNMP manager is allowed to access on the
Switch.
read_only − Specifies that SNMP community members using the community string
created with this command can only read the contents of the MIBs on the Switch.
read_write − Specifies that SNMP community members using the community string
created with this command can read from and write to the contents of the MIBs on the
Switch.
Only administrator-level users can issue this command.
