Usage
Information
The following example configures a community named public that is mapped to the security named
guestuser with Read Only (ro) permissions.
The security-name parameter maps the community string to an SNMPv3 user/security name as
defined by the community MIB.
If a community string is configured without a security-name (for example, snmp-server
community public ro), the community is mapped to a default security-name/group:
● v1v2creadu / v1v2creadg — maps to a community with ro (read-only) permissions.
● v1v2cwriteu/ v1v2cwriteg — maps to a community with rw (read-write) permissions.
