SNMP configuration
The following sections discuss configuring the Simple Network Management Protocol on Brocade
devices. This includes configuring SNMP community strings, SNMP server hosts, SNMP server
contexts, password encryption for SNMPv3 users, and displaying SNMP configurations.
Configuring 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
The snmp-server community command sets the community string and read-write or read-only access
for each community, and is applicable to SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c. You can execute this command in
global configuration mode.
1. Enter the configure terminal command.
2. Enter the snmp-server community string [ro |rw ] command.
switch(config)# snmp-server community private rw
