Usage Guideline
This command creates a community entry in the community table.
This command provides a more user-friendly method to create a community
string for V1/V2 management.
If the view name specified by the command is different to “CommunityView” (a
default view), than a new view will be created. The other command that the user
can use to create a community string is the
snmp-server user
command. A
community string is unable to be deleted if it has been associated with an snmp-
server host.
Examples
This example shows how to set the read/write community string to
comaccess
in
the mib2 view.
