The syntax for the options is as follows:

M[onitorCommunity]

[= [communityName]

]

C[ontrolCommunity]

[= [communityName]

]

T[trapCommunity]

[= [communityName]

]

The option parameters (such as MonitorCommunity) are not case sensitive. In
addition, when specifying option parameters, you need enter only the first character of
the option name, although complete or partial names are also accepted. For example,
T, TrapCom, and Trap are all interpreted as TrapCommunity.

The communityName is an arbitrary ASCII, case sensitive string up to 32 characters in
length. It can include any characters except space, tab, open square bracket ([), equal
sign (=), colon (:), semicolon (;), or number sign (#).

NOTE

Although the option names are not case sensitive, community names are
case-sensitive. Thus, the names Public, public, and PUBLIC, denote three
different communities.

Enabling Access by a Single Community Name

To enable access to a community for a single community name, enter the option
parameter, followed by an equal sign (=), followed by the community name.
Thereafter, the community name offered by the SNMP management station must
match the specified value, or the Agent denies access for the request.

Enabling Access by Any Community Name

If you follow the option name only by an equal sign with no argument, the Agent
accepts any community name offered by an SNMP management station for that
community.

Disabling Access to a Community

To disable access to a community, enter the associated option name without following
it by an equal sign (=).
