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:

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