Description The create snmp community command creates an SNMP

accessible to the SNMP community.
Read/write or read-only level permission for the MIB objects
accessible to the SNMP community.
Parameters <community_string 20> − A string of up to 20 alphanumeric
characters that is used to identify members of an SNMP community.
This string is used like a password to give remote SNMP managers
access to MIB objects in the Switch’s SNMP agent.
<view_name 30> − A string of up to 30 alphanumeric characters that
is used to identify the group of MIB objects that a remote SNMP
manager is allowed to access on the Switch.

community string created with this command can only read the
contents of the MIBs on the Switch.
read_write − Specifies that SNMP community members using the
community string created with this command can read from and
write to the contents of the MIBs on the Switch.
