SNMP
Defining SNMP Communities
Communities are only defined in SNMPv1 and v2 because SNMPv3 works with users instead of
communities. The users belong to groups that have access rights assigned to them.
The Communities page associates communities with access rights, either directly (Basic mode) or through
groups (Advanced mode):
• Basic mode—The access rights of a community can configure with Read Only, Read Write, or SNMP
Admin. In addition, you can restrict the access to the community to only certain MIB objects by
selecting a view (defined in the SNMP Views page).
• Advanced Mode—The access rights of a community are defined by a group (defined in the Groups
page). You can configure the group with a specific security model. The access rights of a group are
Read, Write, and Notify.
To define SNMP communities:
STEP 1
This page contains a table of configured SNMP communities and their properties.
STEP 2
This page enables network managers to define and configure new SNMP communities.
STEP 3
• IP Version—Select either IPv4 or IPv6.
• IPv6 Address Type—Select the supported IPv6 address type if IPv6 is used. The options are:
- Link Local—The IPv6 address uniquely identifies hosts on a single network link. A link local
address has a prefix of FE80, is not routable, and can be used for communication only on the local
network. Only one link local address is supported. If a link local address exists on the interface, this
entry replaces the address in the configuration.
- Global—The IPv6 address is a global Unicast IPV6 type that is visible and reachable from other
networks.
• Link Local Interface—If the IPv6 address type is Link Local, select whether it is received through a
VLAN or ISATAP.
• IP Address—Enter the SNMP management station IP address.
• Community String—Enter the community name used to authenticate the management station to the
device.
