Setting Multiple Snmp Community Strings - Cisco WS-C6506 Software Manual

Chapter 47 Configuring SNMP

Setting Multiple SNMP Community Strings

You can set multiple SNMP community strings using the community-ext keyword. The community
strings that are defined using the community-ext keyword cannot be duplicates of the existing
community strings. When you add a new community string using the community-ext keyword, the
appropriate entries are created in the vacmAccessTable (if a view is specified), snmpCommunityTable,
and the vacmSecurityToGroup table.
To set multiple SNMP community strings from the CLI, perform this task in privileged mode:
Task
Step 1 Set multiple SNMP community strings.
Step 2 Verify the SNMP configuration.
This example shows how to set an additional SNMP community string:
Console> (enable) set snmp community-ext public1 read-only
Community string public1 is created with access type as read-only
Console> (enable)
This example shows how to restrict the community string to an access number:
Console> (enable) set snmp community-ext private1 read-write access 2
Community string private1 is created with access type as read-write access number 2
Console> (enable)
This example shows how to change the access number to the community string:
Console> (enable) set snmp community-ext private1 read-write access 3
Community string private1 is updated with access type as read-write access
number 3
Console> (enable)
This example shows how to display the SNMP configuration:
Console> (enable) show snmp
