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:

Specify the IP address or subnet of the SNMP client hosts that are authorized to use this community.

By default, all clients are allowed.
(Optional) Specify the object identifier used to represent a subtree of MIB object to which access is allowed.
