SNMP CommunityString

This section permits parameters to be defined for SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) Community Strings. SNMP Community Strings are groups of administrators who have access to the device via an SNMP console.

configure SNMP CommunityString String

Syntax Description

String

A string associated with an administrator (or administrators). This string is included in every message and is used, along with the IP address(es) configured below, for access authentication. The default string is "Public," which allows any Community String to have access to this device. Once you have set an SNMP CommunityString String section, access will be limited to the named Community String.

String	A string associated with an administrator (or administrators). This string is included in every message and is used, along with the IP address(es) configured below, for access authentication. The default string is "Public," which allows any Community String to have access to this device. Once you have set an SNMP CommunityString String section, access will be limited to the named Community String.

Keywords

After entering the configure command for the section, enter one or more of the following keywords.

Access = {Read | ReadWrite | None}

The Access keyword specifies the type of access the administrator(s) within the Community String will have to this device.

If None is chosen, the Community String will have no access.

If Read is specified, the Community String will receive information such as Traps, but can not do Sets.

If ReadWrite is specified, the Community String can both perform Sets to, and receive Traps from, this device.

IPAddress = IP Address

The IPAddress keyword sets the IP address, or addresses, of the SNMP console(s) which will have access to this device. The address is used, along with the Community String, for access authentication. Up to four IP addresses may be entered. They should be entered in standard IP dotted-decimal notation (e.g., 198.41.9.1). An address with all zeros (0.0.0.0) can be used as a wildcard to allow the specified Community String access from any console.

Access = {Read \| ReadWrite \| None}	The Access keyword specifies the type of access the administrator(s) within the Community String will have to this device. If None is chosen, the Community String will have no access. If Read is specified, the Community String will receive information such as Traps, but can not do Sets. If ReadWrite is specified, the Community String can both perform Sets to, and receive Traps from, this device.
IPAddress = IP Address	The IPAddress keyword sets the IP address, or addresses, of the SNMP console(s) which will have access to this device. The address is used, along with the Community String, for access authentication. Up to four IP addresses may be entered. They should be entered in standard IP dotted-decimal notation (e.g., 198.41.9.1). An address with all zeros (0.0.0.0) can be used as a wildcard to allow the specified Community String access from any console.

Examples

In the following examples, the Community String "Info Services" is allowed full access to the device, while the Community String "Tech Support" is allowed read-only access from any console.

[ SNMP CommunityString "Info Services" ]
Access                   = ReadWrite
IPAddress                = 192.168.41.95
IPAddress                = 192.168.41.3
IPAddress                = 192.168.41.2
IPAddress                = 192.168.5.5
 
[ SNMP CommunityString "Tech Support" ]
Access                   = Read
IPAddress                = 0.0.0.0
