Configuring for Network Management Applications

Using SNMP Tools To Manage the Switch

SNMP Communities

SNMP commuities are supported by the switch to allow management applica­ tion that use version 2c or version 1 to access the switch. The communities are mapped to Group Access Levels that are used for version 2c or version 1 support. For more information see “Group Access Levels” on page 13-11.This mapping will happen automatically based on the communities access privi­ leges, but special mappings can be added with the snmpv3 community com­ mand.

Syntax: [no] snmpv3 community

This command maps or removes a mapping of a community name to a group access level. To remove a mapping you only need the index_name.

< index < index-name >>

This is an index number or title for the mapping. The values of 1-5 are reserved and can not be mapped.

< name < com-name >>

This is the community name that is being mapped to a group access level

< sec-name < security-name >>

This is the group level that the community is being mapped. For more information see “Group Access Levels” on page 13-11.

< tag < tag-value >>

This is used to specify which target address may have access via this index reference.
