> # 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:

> 1. From configuration mode, access the configuration statement that configures the community string. Community names must be unique.
>    `
>    [edit]
>    user@host# edit snmp community community
>    `
> 2. (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
>    `
> 3. 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.

> 4. (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
>    `
> 5. (Optional) Verify your configuration.

>        [edit snmp community community]
>        user@host# show
