> # Associating Security Names with a Community

> For SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c packets, you must assign security names to groups at the [edit snmp v3 vacm security-to-group] hierarchy level and you must associate a security name with an SNMP community.

> Use the following configuration statements to configure SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c communities for the VACM:

> `
> snmp v3 snmp-community community-index {
>   community-name community-name;
>   security-name security-name;
>   address address;
> }
> `

> To configure the community:

> 1. From configuration mode, access the configuration statement that configures the community.
>    `
>    [edit]
>    user@host# edit snmp v3 snmp-community community-index
>    `

>    Unique index that identifies an SNMP community.

> 2. (Optional) Specify the community string for the SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c community.
>    `
>    [edit snmp v3 snmp-community community-index]
>    user@host# set community-name community-name
>    `

>    If a community name is not specified, the community index is used.

> 3. Specify the VACM security name to associate with the community string.
>    `
>    [edit snmp v3 snmp-community community-index]
>    user@host# set security-name security-name
>    `
> 4. (Optional) Specify the IP address or subnet of the SNMP clients that are authorized to use this community.
>    `
>    [edit snmp v3 snmp-community community-index]
>    user@host# set address address
>    `

>    If an address is not specified, all clients are authorized to use the community.

> 5. (Optional) Verify your configuration.
>    `
>    [edit snmp v3 snmp-community community-index]
>    user@host# show
>    `
