Chapter 5: The SNMP Community Names Screen
5-2 ESX-1320/ESX-1380 Local Management Guide
5.1 COMMUNITY NAME ACCESS POLICY
In order to perform any operations in the SNMP Community Names
screen, you must have used the super-user community name at the User
Password prompt when initiating the Local Management session. The
default community name for each access level is public or press ENTER.
The following definitions explain each of the three levels of access:
read-only
This access level allows reading of device parameters including read-only
community names.
read-write
This access level allows the reading of parameters and the read-only and
read-write community names. The read-write access level also allows the
editing of some device parameters, not including community names.
super-user
This access level allows full management privileges.
5.2 SETTING SNMP COMMUNITY NAMES
To set a community name, perform the following steps:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the community name you want to
change.
2. Type the new community name and press ENTER. The old
community name text disappears and is replaced by the new
community name.
3. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command field.
4. Press ENTER. The Event Message field at the top of the screen
displays “SAVED OK”.

CAUTION
If you edit the super-user community name, be certain you do
not forget it. If you do, you will be unable to perform Local
Management functions without returning the community names
to their factory default configurations.
