set snmp community

Configures a community string for SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c.

Note: For SNMPv3, use the set snmp usm command to configure an SNMPv3 user. SNMPv3 does not use community strings.

Syntax: set snmp community name comm-string

access {read-only read-notify notify-only read-write notify-read-write}

comm-string

Name of the SNMP community. Specify between 1 and 32 alphanumeric

 

characters, with no spaces.

read-only

Allows an SNMP management application using the string to get (read)

 

object values on the switch but not to set (write) them.

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 switch 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.

Usage: SNMP community strings are passed as clear text in SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c. D-Link 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:

DWS-1008# set snmp community read-write good_community success: change accepted.
