Configuring SNMP Components
Configuring USM Community Options
User-based security model (USM) community strings associate a community string with an
SNMPv3 access group and its view. The access granted with a community string is restricted to the
scope of the configured group.
By default, the implementation of SNMP uses SNMPv3. However, to implement SNMPv1 and
SNMPv2c, USM community strings must be explicitly configured.
Use the following CLI syntax to configure USM community options:
CLI Syntax: config>system>security>snmp
The following displays a SNMP community configuration example:
A:ALA-1>config>system>security>snmp# info
----------------------------------------------
-privacy read testview write testview notify testview
----------------------------------------------
A:ALA-1>config>system>security>snmp#
The group grouptest was configured in the config>system>security>snmp>access CLI context.
