• ipaddress —Specifies the IP address of the management station. If no IP
address is specified, all management stations are permitted. Both IPv4 and

•
view-name —Specifies the name of a previously defined view. For
information on views, see the User Guidelines below. (Range: 1-30
characters)

Command Mode
Global Configuration mode
User Guidelines
You can not specify viewname for su, which has an access to the whole MIB.
You can use the view name to restrict the access rights of a community string.
When it is specified:
• An internal security name is generated.
• The internal security name for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 security models is
mapped to an internal group name.
• The internal group name for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 security models is
mapped to a view name. If
ro is specified, then read-view and notify-view
are mapped. If
rw is specified, then read-view, notify-view, and write-view
are mapped.
The community name may include any printable characters except a question
mark. Enclose the string in double quotes to include spaces within the name.
The surrounding quotes are not used as part of the name. The CLI does not
filter illegal characters and may accept entries up to the first illegal character
or reject the entry entirely.
Example
The following example configures community access string public to permit
administrative access to SNMP at an administrative station with IP address
192.168.1.20.
console(config)# snmp-server community public su ipaddress 192.168.1.20
