• community-string — Acts as a password and is used to
authenticate the SNMP management station to the
switch. The string must also be defined on the NMS in
order for the NMS to access the SNMP agent on the
switch (Range: 1-20 characters). Any printable character
is allowed other than the @ \ ? characters.
• ro — Indicates read-only access
• rw — Indicates read-write access.
• view-name — Specifies the name of a previously defined
MIB view.
• ip_address — Specifies the IPv4/IPv6 address or subnet of
the allowed management stations. If no IP address or an
all-zeros IP address is specified, all management stations
are permitted. The IP address may be an IPv4 or IPv6
address or an address and subnet mask in /length or
dotted quad notation.
