To change the default public community name, in this example to ro567pp8600, enter the following command:

o ERS-8606:5#config snmp-v3 community commname first new-commname ro567pp8600

To change the default private community name, in this example to rwa123pp8600, enter the following command:

o ERS-8606:5#config snmp-v3 community commname second new-commname rwa123pp8600

7.3Configuration Example: Adding a New SNMP Community to an Existing SNMP Group Member

If you use an existing group member in the VCAM table, a new community can be simply added. To view the SNMP VACM and MIB view, the following commands can be used

To view the VACM Membership configuration, enter the following command: o ERS-8610-C:5# config snmp-v3group-member info

To view the VCAM Group Access configuration, enter the following command: o ERS-8610-C:5# config snmp-v3group-access info

To view the SNMP MIB View, enter the following command: o ERS-8610-C:5# config snmp-v3mib-view info

For example, if you wish to add a new community named pp8600579 with read/write access, enter the following command:
