Command Reference Guide

set snmp community 161

History — Introduced in MSS Version 3.0. In Version 4.0, new access

types were added for SNMPv3:read-notify, notify-only,

notify-read-write

SNMP community strings are passed as clear text in SNMPv1 and

SNMPv2c. 3Com recommends that you use strings that cannot easily be

guessed by unauthorized users. For example, do not use the well-known

strings public and private.

If you are using SNMPv3, you can configure SNMPv3 users to use

authentication and to encrypt SNMP data.

Examples — The following command configures the read-write

community good_community:

WX-1200# set snmp community read-write good_community

success: change accepted.

The following command configures community string switchmgr1 with

access level notify-read-write:

WX-1200# set snmp community name switchmgr1 notify-read-write

success: change accepted.
