Configuring community names and values (CLI)

The snmp-server command enables you to add SNMP communities with either default or specific access attributes, and to delete specific communities.

Syntax:


no snmp-server community <community-name>

Configures a new community name.

If you do not also specify operator or manager, the switch automatically assigns the community to the operator MIB view.
If you do not specify restricted or unrestricted, the switch automatically assigns the community to restricted (read-only) access.

The no form uses only the <community-name> variable and deletes the named community from the switch.

`[operator \| manager]`	Optionally assigns an access level. At the `operator` level, the community can access all MIB objects except the CONFIG MIB. At the `manager` level, the community can access all MIB objects.
`[restricted \| unrestricted]`	Optionally assigns MIB access type. Assigning the `restricted` type allows the community to read MIB variables, but not to set them. Assigning the `unrestricted` type allows the community to read and set MIB variables.

Example:

To add the following communities:

Community	Access Level	Type of Access
red-team	manager (Access to all MIB objects.)	unrestricted (read/write)
blue-team	operator (Access to all MIB objects except the CONFIG MIB.)	restricted (read-only)

switch(config)# snmp-server community red-team
   manager unrestricted
switch(config)# snmp-server community blue-team
   operator restricted

To eliminate a previously configured community named "gold-team":

switch(config) # no snmp-server community gold-team
