5.2.2 Creating a Community Entry

SNMP communities are groupings of workstations and servers (or gateways) that can manage the ONS 15216 EDFA2. NMSs use SNMP communities to enforce security. Because access to the SNMP agent is controlled by a community entry, every SNMP agent must be configured to recognize one or more community names, and to provide the appropriate level of access to managers according to the community name. The following commands describe the commands for displaying or setting community entries. Users should consult with the Cisco TAC before modifying these settings.

5.2.2.1 Set CommunityEntry

Command	snmp row set local cerent15216EdfaCommunityEntry
	snmp row set local cerent15216EdfaCommunityEntry community_index_#
Syntax Description
	After creating a view, use the snmp row set local cerent15216EdfaCommunityEntry command to
	create a community entry for that view.

The SNMP manager prompts the user for each attribute. Press the Spacebar and then the Tab key after

aprompt to view possible data inputs (Example 5-4). Refer to Table 5-4 on page 5-8for information concerning data for each prompt.

Example 5-4 cerent15216EdfaCommunityEntry Set Command
