ExtremeWare 7.7 Command Reference Guide 139
configure snmp delete community
configure snmp delete community [readonly | readwrite] {encrypted} [all |
<alphanumeric string>]
Description
Deletes an SNMP read or read/write community string.
Syntax Description
Default
The default read-only community string is public . The default read/write community string is private .
Usage Guidelines
The community strings allow a simple method of authentication between the switch and the remote
network manager. There are two types of community strings on the switch. Read community strings
provide read-only access to the switch. The default read-only community string is
public . read/write
community strings provide read and write access to the switch. The default read/write community
string is
private . Sixteen read-only and sixteen read-write community strings can be configured on the
switch, including the defaults. The community string for all authorized trap receivers must be
configured on the switch for the trap receiver to receive switch-generated traps. SNMP community
strings can contain up to 32 characters.
It is recommended that you change the defaults of the read/write and read-only community strings.
Use the
configure snmp add
command to configure an authorized SNMP management station.
The
encrypted
option should only be used by the switch to generate an ASCII configuration (using the
upload configuration
command), and parsing a switch-generated configuration (using the
download
configuration
command). Do not select the encrypted option in the CLI.
