User Guidelines
The view-name parameter cannot be specified for su , which has access to the whole MIB.
The view-name parameter can be used to restrict the access rights of a community string.
When it is specified:
• An internal security name is generated.
• The internal security name for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 security models is mapped to
an internal group name.
• The internal group name for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 security models is mapped to a
view-name (read-view and notify-view always, and for
rw for write-view also)
The group-name parameter can also be used to restrict the access rights of a community
string. When it is specified:
• An internal security name is generated.
• The internal security name for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 security models is mapped to
the group name.
To define a management station on the out-of-band port, use out-of-band IP address format
oob / ip-address .
For a user to define OOB management port configurations, such as ip address, default
gateway, RADIUS, and so forth, two SNMP communities must be defined. A super user can
configure OOB management port settings with a single community, by switching between the
two communities.
Examples
The following example configures community access string public to permit administrative access
to SNMP at an administrative station with IP address 192.168.1.20.
Console (config)# snmp-server community public su 192.168.1.20
