The switch includes an SNMP agent that supports SNMP version 1, 2c, and
3 clients. To provide management access for version 1 or 2c clients, you
must specify a community string. The switch provides a default MIB View
(i.e., an SNMPv3 construct) for the default “public” community string that
provides read access to the entire MIB tree, and a default view for the
“private” community string that provides read/write access to the entire
MIB tree. However, you may assign new views to version 1 or 2c
community strings that suit your specific security requirements (see
"Configuring SNMPv3 Views" on page 138 ).

Community strings are used to control management access to SNMP
version 1 and 2c stations, as well as to authorize SNMP stations to receive
trap messages from the switch. You therefore need to assign community
strings to specified users, and set the access level.
The default strings are:
◆
public - with read-only access. Authorized management stations are
only able to retrieve MIB objects.
◆
private - with read/write access. Authorized management stations are
able to both retrieve and modify MIB objects.
To prevent unauthorized access to the switch from SNMP version 1 or 2c
clients, it is recommended that you change the default community strings.
To change the read-only or read/write community string, type either of the
following commands, and press <Enter>.
“snmp read community string ”
“snmp write community string ”
where “string” is the community access string.
>snmp read community rd
>snmp read community
Read Community : rd

:
If you do not intend to support access to SNMP version 1 and 2c
clients, we recommend that you delete both of the default community
strings. If there are no community strings, then SNMP management access
from SNMP v1 and v2c clients is disabled.
