Configuring for Network Management Applications
Using SNMP Tools To Manage the Switch
Configuring Community Names and Values. The
snmp-server
command
enables you to add SNMP communities with either default or specific access
attributes, and to delete specific communities.
Syntax: [no] snmp-server community < community-name >
Configures a new community name. If you do not also
specify
operator
or
manager
, the switch automatically
assigns the community to the
operator
MIB view. If you
do not specify restricted or unrestricted , the switch
automatically assigns the community to
restricted
(read­
only) access. The
no
form uses only the
< community-
name > variable and deletes the named community from
the switch.
[operator | manager]
Optionally assigns an access level. At the
operator
level
the community can access all MIB objects except the
CONFIG MIB. At the
manager
level the community can
access all MIB objects.
[restricted | unrestricted]
Optionally assigns MIB access type. Assigning the
restricted
type allows the community to read MIB
variables, but not to set them. Assigning the
unrestricted
type allows the community to read and set MIB
variables.
For example, to add the following communities:
Community Access Level Type of Access
red-team manager
(Access to all MIB objects.)
unrestricted
(read/write)
blue-team operator
(Access to all MIB objects
except the CONFIG MIB.)
restricted
(read-only)
ProCurve(config)# snmp-server community red-team
manager unrestricted
ProCurve(config)# snmp-server community blue-team
operator restricted
To eliminate a previously configured community named "gold-team":
ProCurve(config) # no snmp-server community gold-team
