SNMP community strings
SNMP versions 1 and 2c use community strings to restrict access to the switch. There are six
default community strings: three read-write strings and three read-only strings. There is support for
a total of 256 SNMP communities, all user-configurable.
The following default community strings are read-write:
• Secret C0de
• OrigEquipMfr
• private
The following default community strings are read-only:
• public
• common
• ConvergedNetwork
Adding an SNMP community string
To add an SNMP community string, perform the following steps.
1. Issue the RPC to configure the node in the
urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-snmp namespace.
2. Under the node, specify the node element.
3. Under the node element, specify the leaf element, and set its
value to the community string to be added.
4. Optionally, under the node element, include the leaf element and set
its value to “rw” for read-write access, or to “ro” for read-only access.
The default value is “ro”.
The following example adds a community string named “private” to the SNMP configuration and
sets its access permission to read-write.
private
rw
