Changing the SNMP Community Name
Configuring the SNMP community name determines which management
stations are able to manage your system through SNMP. The SNMP
community name used by management applications must match the SNMP
community name configured on the Server Administrator system, so the
management applications can retrieve the management information from
Server Administrator.
To change the default SNMP community name used for retrieving
management information from a system running Server Administrator,
edit the SNMP agent configuration file /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf, and perform
the following steps:
1
Find the line that reads:
rocommunity public 127.0.0.1
2
Edit this line by replacing public with the new SNMP community
name. When edited, the new line should read:
rocommunity community_name 127.0.0.1

To enable SNMP configuration changes, restart the SNMP agent by
typing:
