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 restricted
(Access to all MIB objects (read-only)
except the CONFIG MIB.)
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
