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 auto-
matically 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
(Access to all MIB objects
except the CONFIG MIB.)
restricted
(read-only)
HPswitch
(config)# snmp-server community red-team
manager unrestricted
HPswitch(config)# snmp-server community blue-team
operator restricted
To eliminate a previously configured community named “gold-team”:
HPswitch(config) # no snmp-server community gold-team
