Changing SNMP Defaults

By default, SNMP Version 1 (SNMPv1) is configured on Enterasys switches. The default
configuration includes a single community name "public" which grants read-write access to the
whole MIB tree for both SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c.
For security reasons, you should plan to change the default SNMP settings to ones suitable for
your network. Refer to
As a minimum step, Enterasys recommends that you remove the default community name
"public" from the switch's configuration.
1. Remove the "public" community name.
C5(su)->clear snmp community public
2. Map a new community name to the security name of "public."
C5(su)->set snmp community <new-community-name> securityname public
This step allows you to keep the public view group and group access, and therefore ensure
SNMP access to the switch, until you are ready to change all the default SNMP settings to
more appropriate values.

Saving the Configuration and Connecting Devices

When you enter CLI configuration commands, the configuration is saved to NVRAM on the
switch automatically at the following intervals:
• On a standalone unit, the configuration is checked every two minutes and saved if there has
been a change.
• On a stack, the configuration is saved across the stack every 5 minutes if there has been a
change.
To save a running configuration to NVRAM more often than the automatic intervals, execute the
save config command and wait for the system prompt to return. After the prompt returns, the
configuration will be persistent.
When you have completed your initial configuration:
