„ read-notify
— Allows an SNMP management application using the
string to get object values on the switch but not to set them. The
switch can use the string to send notifications.
„ notify-only — Allows the WX to use the string to send
notifications.
„ read-write — Allows an SNMP management application using the
string to get and set object values on the switch.
„ notify-read-write
— Allows an SNMP management application
using the string to get and set object values on the switch. The switch
also can use the string to send notifications.
Defaults — None.
Access — Enabled.
History —Introduced in MSS Version 3.0. Default community strings
changed from public (for read-only) and private (for read-write) to blank
in MSS Version 3.1. Default strings removed and new access types added
for SNMPv3 (read-notify, notify-only, notify-read-write) in MSS Version
4.0.
Usage — SNMP community strings are passed as clear text in SNMPv1
and SNMPv2c. 3Com recommends that you use strings that cannot easily
be guessed by unauthorized users. For example, do not use the
well-known strings public and private.
If you are using SNMPv3, you can configure SNMPv3 users to use
authentication and to encrypt SNMP data.
Examples — The following command configures the read-write
community good_community:
WX4400# set snmp community read-write good_community
success: change accepted.
The following command configures community string switchmgr1 with
access level notify-read-write:
WX4400# set snmp community name switchmgr1 notify-read-write
success: change accepted.
