Important Considerations
■
When an SNMP agent receives an SNMP request, the agent compares
the community string in the request with the community strings that
are configured for the agent:
■
SNMP get, get-next, and set requests are valid if the community
string in the request matches the agent’s read-write community.
■
SNMP get and get-next requests are valid if the community string
in the request matches the agent’s read-only community string or
read-write community string.
■
You can specify any string value up to 48 characters long. Do not use
embedded spaces or the # symbol.
■
If you do not want to change the value of a community string, press
Return or Enter at either prompt.
