SNMP Community Table Configuration

Use this table 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.
SNMPv2 – Specifies that SNMP version 2c will be used. The SNMP v2c
supports both centralized and distributed network management strategies.
It includes improvements in the Structure of Management Information
(SMI) and adds some security features.
USM – (User-based Security Module) Specifies that the SNMP version 3
will be used. SNMP v3 provides secure access to devices through a
combination of authentication and encrypting packets over the network.
NoAuthNoPriv − Specifies that there will be no authorization and no
encryption of packets sent between the switch and a remote SNMP
manager.
AuthNoPriv − Specifies that authorization will be required, but there will be
no encryption of packets sent between the switch and a remote SNMP
manager.
AuthPriv − Specifies that authorization will be required, and that packets
sent between the switch and a remote SNMP manger will be encrypted.
