create snmp community
Purpose Used to create an SNMP community string to define the relationship
between the SNMP manager and an agent. The community string acts
like a password to permit access to the agent on the Switch. One or
more of the following characteristics can be associated with the
community string:
An Access List of IP addresses of SNMP managers that are permitted
to use the community string to gain access to the Switch’s SNMP
agent.
An MIB view that defines the subset of all MIB objects that will be
accessible to the SNMP community.
Read-write or read-only level permission for the MIB objects accessible
to the SNMP community.
Syntax
create snmp community <community_string 32> view <view_name
32> [read_only | read_write]
