History

Usage

SNMP community strings are passed as clear text in SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c. Nortel 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:

WSS# set snmp community read-write good_community

success: change accepted.

The following command configures community string switchmgr1 with access level notify-read-write:

WSS# set snmp community name switchmgr1 notify-read-write

success: change accepted.
