Commands for SNMP configuration
1. access
Syntax:
access [read | write] <community> [<IP addr>]
access delete <community> [<IP addr>]
access flush
access list
Description:
The “read” and “write” options configure a community name that
can be used for read-only or read-write access, respectively. If an IP
address is specified, then the community name is valid only for
SNMP requests issued from that IP address. (It should be noted that
this can be rather weak security, since it is possible for the source
address of IP packets to be forged.) The same community name can
be configured several times with different IP addresses, to allow
access with the same community name from a number of different
machines. The number of access records (community names paired
with optional IP addresses) that can be configured is limited only by
available memory.
The “delete” option deletes an access record. The IP address must
match exactly; if it is not specified, only a matching access record that
has no IP address will be deleted. The “flush” option deletes all
access records. The “list” option lists the access records.
Configuration saving saves the access records.
By default, if there are no access records in the
snmpinit file, no
SNMP management is allowed.
