47.3.1 Setting Community Names
z SNMP V1 and SNMPV2C adopt the community name authentication scheme.
SNMP Community is named with a character string, which is called community
name. SNMP community name defines the relationship between SNMP manager
and SNMP agent. The community name functions like a password, that is, it
controls the access of the SNMP manager to the SNMP agent. You can choose to
specify one or more community name-related features: Define MIB views of all the
accessible MIB subsets.
z Define the read-only or read-write access mode of the community name to the MIB.
The community with read-only authority can only query the device information,
whereas the community with read-write authority can also configure the device.
Perform the following configuration in system view.
