CREATE SNMP COMMUNITY

Syntax

create snmp community="

community

"

[access=read|write]

[open=yes|no] [traphost=

ipaddress

] [manager=

ipaddress

]

Parameters

community

Specifies a new community string. The maximum

length of a community string is 15 alphanumeric
characters. Spaces are allowed. The name must be
enclosed in double quotes if it includes a space or
other special character such as an exclamation point.
Otherwise, the quotes are optional. The string is case
sensitive.

access

Specifies the access level of the new community

string. Options are “read” for read only access and
“write” for both read and write access. The default is
“read.”

open

Specifies the open or closed status of the community

string. The options are:

yes

The community string is open, meaning any
management station can use the string to
access the switch.

no

The community string is closed, meaning only
those management stations whose IP
addresses are assigned to the string can use it
to access the switch. You can assign a
management IP address to the string using the
MANAGER option in this command. The
default setting for a community string is
closed.

traphost

Specifies the IP address of a trap receiver to receive
system traps.

manager

Specifies the IP address of a management station that
can use the community string to access the switch.
This option applies if you specify the status of the
community string as closed. A community string can
have up to eight IP addresses of management
stations, but only one can be assigned with this
option.
