<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
You must have at least one community string for SNMP access. If you delete all of the community
strings on your system, you will no longer have SNMP access, even if you have SNMP enabled.
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.
For increased security, Extreme Networks recommends that you change the defaults of the read/write
and read-only community strings.
Use the
configure snmp add
commands to configure an authorized SNMP management station.

extreme
:
