of read only, and “private,” with an access level of read and write. A switch
can support up to eight community strings.
The COMMUNITY parameter specifies the new community string. The
string can be up to 15 alphanumeric characters. The string is case
sensitive.
The ACCESS parameter defines the access level for the new community
string. The access level can be either read or read and write. The READ
option specifies the read access level and the WRITE option specifies the
read and write access level.
The OPEN parameters controls whether the string will have an open or
closed status. If you specify YES, ON or TRUE, the string will have an
open status. Any management station will be able to use the string to
access the switch. If you specify NO, OFF or FALSE, the string will have a
closed status and only those management stations whose IP addresses
are assigned to the switch will be able to use the string. This is the default.
The TRAPHOST parameter specifies the IP address of a trap receiver to
receive traps from the switch. A community string can have up to eight trap
receivers, but only one can be assigned when a community string is
created. To add IP addresses of trap receivers to an existing community
string, see “ADD SNMP COMMUNITY” on page 66.
The MANAGER parameter specifies the IP address of a management
station to be permitted SNMP access to the switch through the community
string. You use this parameter when you give a community string a closed
status. A community string with a closed status can only be used by those
management stations whose IP addresses have been assigned to the
string.
A community string can have up to eight manager IP addresses, but only
one can be assigned when a community string is created. To add IP
addresses of management stations to an existing community string, see
“ADD SNMP COMMUNITY” on page 66.
Examples
The following command creates the new community string “serv12” with
read access level and an access status of open:
create snmp community=serv12 access=read open=yes
The following command creates the new community string “wind11” with
read and write access level. To limit the use of the string, its access status
is specified as closed and it is assigned the IP address of the management
station that will use the string:
create snmp community=wind11 access=write open=no
manager=149.35.24.22
