5.2.2 Creating a Community Entry

SNMP communities are groupings of workstations and servers (or gateways) that can manage the
ONS 15216 EDFA2. NMSs use SNMP communities to enforce security. Because access to the SNMP
agent is controlled by a community entry, every SNMP agent must be configured to recognize one or
more community names, and to provide the appropriate level of access to managers according to the
community name. The following commands describe the commands for displaying or setting community
entries. Users should consult with the Cisco TAC before modifying these settings.
5.2.2.1 Set CommunityEntry
Command
snmp row set local cerent15216EdfaCommunityEntry
Syntax Description snmp row set local cerent15216EdfaCommunityEntry community_index_#
After creating a view, use the snmp row set local cerent15216EdfaCommunityEntry command to
create a community entry for that view.
The SNMP manager prompts the user for each attribute. Press the Spacebar and then the Tab key after
a prompt to view possible data inputs
concerning data for each prompt.
