The following CLI commands are used to display and configure
SNMP community strings. These parameters are also configurable in
the Administration-SNMP tab of the Web-based GUI interface.
config sys snmp community info
config sys snmp community create <string> ip <ip
address> rights [ro|rw]
config sys snmp community delete <string> ip <ip
address>
For example:
config sys snmp community create test ip
209.218.240.5 rights ro
creates the community string test with read-only privilege. SNMP
read-only requests using community string test will be accepted only
from IP address 209.218.240.1.
By default the following community strings are defined:
public ro any
private rw any
The SA8220 has an IP filtering capability accessible through the
Administration-Security tab or the config sys security command.
Make sure that security is configured so that SNMP request packets
are allowed to pass through the IP filter. Security mode must either be
OPEN or CUSTOM. If mode is CUSTOM, SNMP access must be
enabled. Either of the following two sets of CLI commands configure
Security to enable SNMP:
config sys security mode open
or
config sys security mode custom
config sys security custom snmp enable
