Enabling SNMP Remote Management Community Strings
Creating a Community Entry
SNMP communities are groupings of workstations and servers (or gateways) that can manage the ONS
15216 EDFA2. NMS’s use SNMP communities to enforce security. Because access to the SNMP agent
is controlled by a community entry, every SNMP agent must be configured to recognize one or more
community names, and to provide the appropriate level of access to managers according to the
community name. The following commands describe the commands for displaying or setting community
entries. Users should consult with a Cisco Systems Engineer before modifying these settings.
Set CommunityEntry
Command: snmp row set local cerent15216EdfaCommunityEntry
Syntax: snmp row set local cerent15216EdfaCommunityEntry community index
Description: After creating a view, use the snmp row set local cerent15216EdfaCommunityEntry
command to create a community entry for that view.
The SNMP manager prompts the user for each attribute. Press the Spacebar and then the
Tab key after a prompt to view possible data inputs (Example 5-4). Refer to Table 5-4 for
information concerning data for each prompt.
