To use the default trap community, allow any community name to be used
for read access, but set the read/write community name to “secret,” you
would place the following lines in your NET.CFG file:
desktop snmp
enable monitor community any
enable control community specified
control community “secret”
To disable all traps and use the default values for the monitor and control
communities, you would place the following lines in your NET.CFG file:
desktop snmp
enable trap community off
To specify a NULL string for the control community and use the default
values for the monitor and trap communities, you would place the following
lines in your NET.CFG file:
desktop snmp
enable control community specified
control community “”
Setting a NULL string is the same as setting the enable community_type
community line to “off.”
To allow only the “private” community to have access and set the
community name for traps to “agenttrap,” you would place the following
lines in your NET.CFG file:
desktop snmp
enable monitor community specified
monitor community “private”
enable control community specified
control community “private”
enable trap community specified
trap community “agenttrap”
