Configuring for Network Management Applications
Using SNMP Tools To Manage the Switch
11-16
Configuring Community Names and Values. The snmp-server command
enables you to add SNMP communities with either default or specific access
attributes, and to delete specific communities.
Syntax: [no] snmp-server community < community-name >
Configures a new community name. If you do not also
specify operator or manager, the switch automatically
assigns the community to the operator MIB view. If you
do not specify restricted or unrestricted, the switch auto­
matically assigns the community to restricted (read-
only) access. The no form uses only the < community-
name > variable and deletes the named community from
the switch.
[operator | manager]
Optionally assigns an access level. At the operator level
the community can access all MIB objects except the
CONFIG MIB. At the manager level the community can
access all MIB objects.
[restricted | unrestricted]
Optionally assigns MIB access type. Assigning the
restricted type allows the community to read MIB vari­
ables, but not to set them. Assigning the unrestricted type
allows the community to read and set MIB variables.
For example, to add the following communities:
Community Access Level
red-team manager
(Access to all MIB objects.)
blue-team operator
(Access to all MIB objects
except the CONFIG MIB.)
HPswitch(config)# snmp-server community red-team
HPswitch(config)# snmp-server community blue-team
To eliminate a previously configured community named "gold-team":
HPswitch(config) # no snmp-server community gold-team
manager unrestricted
operator restricted
Type of Access
unrestricted
(read/write)
restricted
(read-only)
