Configuring Access Control for Communities

Use the following configuration statements to configure community strings for traditional access control:



snmp community community { 
authorization (read-only|read-write); 
clients clients; 
oid oid; 
}

To configure community strings:

From configuration mode, access the configuration statement that configures the community string. Community names must be unique. [edit] user@host# edit snmp community community
(Optional) Specify the authorization level.
To specify read-only access:
[edit snmp community community] user@host# set authorization read-only
To specify read and write access:
[edit snmp community community] user@host# set authorization read-write
Specify the IP address or subnet of the SNMP client hosts that are authorized to use this community. [edit snmp community community] user@host# set clients clients
By default, all clients are allowed.
(Optional) Specify the object identifier used to represent a subtree of MIB object to which access is allowed. [edit snmp community community] user@host# set oid oid

(Optional) Verify your configuration.

[edit snmp community community]
