Community Configuration

By default, two SNMP Communities exist:

• Private, with Read/W

rite privileges and status set to Enable.

• Public, with Read Only privileges and status set to Enable.

These are well-known communities. Use this page to change the defaults or to add other

communities. Only the communities that you define using this page will have access to the

switch using the SNMP V1 and SNMP V2 protocols. Only those communities with read/write

level access can be used to change the configuration using SNMP

Use this page when you are using the SNMP V1 and SNMP V2 protocol. If you want to use

SNMP v3 you should use the User

Accounts menu.

To display this page, click System  SNMP  SNMP V1/V2  Community Configuration. A

screen similar to the following is displayed.

1. Use Community Name to reconfigure an existing community, or to create a new one.

Use this menu to select one of the existing community names, or select 'Create' to add

a new one. A valid entry is a case-sensitive string of up to 16 characters.

2. Client Address -

Taken together, the Client Address and Client IP Mask denote a range of

IP addresses from which SNMP clients may use that community to access this device. If

either (Client Address or IP Mask) value is 0.0.0.0, access is allowed from any IP address.

Otherwise, every client's address is ANDed with the mask, as is the Client Address, and, if

the values are equal, access is allowed. For example, if the Client Address and Client IP

Mask parameters are 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0, then any client whose address is

192.168.1.0 through 192.168.1.255 (inclusive) will be allowed access. To allow access from

only one station, use a Client IP Mask value of 255.255.255.255, and use that machine's IP

address for Client Address.
