Configuring SNMP Community Settings
The SNMP Community Table is used only for SNMP versions 1 and 2 to associate community strings
to users. When a user is connected to a device with SNMPv1 or SNMPv2, the device checks the
community string sent in the SNMP packet. Based on a specific community string, the device maps
the community string to a predefined user, which belongs to a group with certain access rights.
Therefore, when working with SNMPv1 or SNMPv2, users, groups, and access must be defined.
Use the Community Table to associate community strings with user names and vice versa, and to
restrict the range of addresses from which SNMP requests are accepted and to which traps can be
sent.
Note:
You cannot change the community string associated with the user name that you are
currently using.
To configure SNMP community settings
1. In the Configuration perspective Device Security tab navigation pane, select SNMP >
Community.
2. Do one of the following:
—
To add an SNMP community entry, click the
(Add) button.
—
To edit an entry, double-click the row.
3. Configure SNMP community parameters and click OK.
