Information
The example below configures a community named public that is mapped to the security named
guestuser with Read Only (ro) permissions.
Example 1 FTOS#config
FTOS(conf)# snmp-server community public ro
FTOS(conf)# snmp-server community guest ro security-name guestuser
FTOS(conf)#
The security-name parameter maps the community string to an SNMPv3 user/security name as
defined by the community MIB.
If a community string is configured without a security-name (for example, snmp-server community
public ro), the community is mapped to a default security-name/group:
• v1v2creadu / v1v2creadg — maps to a community with ro permissions
• v1v2cwriteu/ v1v2cwriteg — maps to a community with rw permissions
This command is indexed by the community-name parameter.
If the snmp-server community is not configured, you cannot interact with the switch through SNMP.
Only Standard IPv4 ACL and IPv6 ACL is supported in the optional access-list-name.
