Used to create an SNMP community string to define the relationship
between the SNMP manager and an agent. The community string acts like
a password to permit access to the agent on the Switch. One or more of the
following characteristics can be associated with the community string:
An Access List of IP addresses of SNMP managers that are permitted to
use the community string to gain access to the Switch's SNMP agent.
An MIB view that defines the subset of all MIB objects that will be
accessible to the SNMP community.
read_write or read_only level permission for the MIB objects accessible to
the SNMP community.
create snmp community <community_string 32> view <view_name
32> [read_only | read_write]
The create snmp community command is used to create an SNMP
community string and to assign access-limiting characteristics to this
community string.
<community_string 32> − An alphanumeric string of up to 32 characters
that is used to identify members of an SNMP community. This string is used
like a password to give remote SNMP managers access to MIB objects in
the Switch's SNMP agent.
view <view_name 32> − An alphanumeric string of up to 32 characters that
is used to identify the group of MIB objects that a remote SNMP manager is
allowed to access on the Switch.
read_only − Specifies that SNMP community members using the
community string created with this command can only read the contents of
the MIBs on the Switch.
read_write − Specifies that SNMP community members using the
community string created with this command can read from and write to the
contents of the MIBs on the Switch.
Only administrator-level users can issue this command.
