SNMP community strings
SNMP versions 1 and 2c use community strings to restrict access to the switch. There are six
default community strings: three read-write strings and three read-only strings. There is support for
a total of 256 SNMP communities, all user-configurable.
The following default community strings are read-write:
• Secret C0de
• OrigEquipMfr
• private
The following default community strings are read-only:
• public
• common
• ConvergedNetwork
Adding an SNMP community string
To add an SNMP community string, perform the following steps.
1. Issue the <edit-config> RPC to configure the <snmp-server> node in the
urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-snmp namespace.
2. Under the <snmp-server> node, specify the <community> node element.
3. Under the <community> node element, specify the <community> leaf element, and set its
value to the community string to be added.
4. Optionally, under the <community> node element, include the <access> leaf element and set
its value to “rw” for read-write access, or to “ro” for read-only access.
The default value is “ro”.
The following example adds a community string named “private” to the SNMP configuration and
sets its access permission to read-write.
