Configuring for Network Management Applications

Using SNMP Tools To Manage the Switch

Configuring Community Names and Values.

The

snmp-server command

enables you to add SNMP communities with either default or specific access
attributes, and to delete specific communities.

Syntax: [no] snmp-server community < community-name >

Configures a new community name. If you do not also
specify

operator or manager, the switch automatically

assigns the community to the

operator MIB view. If you

do not specify

restricted or unrestricted, the switch auto­

matically assigns the community to

restricted (read-

only) access. The

no form uses only the < community-

name > variable and deletes the named community from
the switch.

[operator | manager]

Optionally assigns an access level. At the

operator level

the community can access all MIB objects except the
CONFIG MIB. At the

manager level the community can

access all MIB objects.

[restricted | unrestricted]

Optionally assigns MIB access type. Assigning the
restricted type allows the community to read MIB vari­
ables, but not to set them. Assigning the

unrestricted type

allows the community to read and set MIB variables.

For example, to add the following communities:

Community

Access Level

Type of Access

red-team

manager

(Access to all MIB objects.)

unrestricted

(read/write)

blue-team

operator

(Access to all MIB objects

except the CONFIG MIB.)

restricted

(read-only)

HPswitch(config)# snmp-server community red-team

manager unrestricted

HPswitch(config)# snmp-server community blue-team

operator restricted

To eliminate a previously configured community named "gold-team":

HPswitch(config) # no snmp-server community gold-team
