community — Character string that acts like a password and permits access to the SNMP
protocol. (Range: 1 - 20 characters)
ro — Specifies read-only access.
rw — Specifies read-write access.
su — Specifies SNMP administrator access.
ip-address — Management station IP address. Default is all IP addresses. An out-of-band IP
address can be specified as described in the usage guidelines.
group-name — Name of a previously defined group. The group defines the objects available to
the community. (Range: 1 - 30 characters)
The View-name command cannot be specified for su, which has access to the whole MIB.
However, the View-name command can be used to restrict the access rights of a community
string.
Specifying a view-name parameter does the following:
Generates an internal security-name.
Maps the internal security-name for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 security models to an internal
group-name.
Maps the internal group-name for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 security models to view-name
(read-view and notify-view always, and for rw for write-view also)
The group-name command can be used to restrict the access rights of a community string.
Specifying a group-name parameter does the following:
Generates an internal security-name.
Maps the internal security-name for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 security models to the group-name.
To define a management station on the out-of-band port, use the out-of-band IP address
format —oob/ipaddress.
For a user to define OOB management port configurations, such as ip address, default gateway, RADIUS,
and so forth, you must define two SNMP communities. A super user can configure OOB management
port settings with a single community, by switching between the two communities.
The OOB/ip address indicates whether the selected management station being configured is an OOB
management station.
The type is used for a different purpose. From an SNMP perspective, the OOB port is treated as a
separate device. Therefore, when defining an SNMP community, the administrator must indicate which
tables are being configured. If type is oob, this indicates that OOB tables are being configured. If type is
router, it means that the device's tables are being configured.
Default Configuration
No community is defined.
