SNMP Community String Commands

SNMP Community strings authenticate access to the MIB (Management Information Base). Community strings function as “passwords” embedded in every SNMP packet. The community string must match one of the two community strings configured in the switch for the message to be processed. There are two community strings, one for each of the following types of accesses:
∙read – mode gives read access to all the objects in the MIB, but does not allow write access.
∙write – mode gives write access to all objects in the MIB.
