Creating an SNMP Contact Name
The SNMP contact name is a person who is to be contacted in case of
questions about your SNMP implementation, an email address, or an IP
address for the SNMP system. The syntax of this command is:
snmp-server contact “John Smith”
To create an SNMP contact name of John Smith, enter the following
commands:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# snmp-server contact “John Smith”
For more information about this command, see “SNMP-SERVER
CONTACT” on page 230.
Creating SNMP Communities
SNMP Communities have several attributes, including a name and an
access mode. A community name must have a name of one to eight
alphanumeric characters. Spaces are allowed.
The access mode attribute defines the permissions of a community string.
There are two access modes: Read and Read/Write. A community string
with an access mode of Read can only be used to view (but not change
the MIB objects on a switch). A community string with a Read/Write
access can be used to both view the MIB objects and change them.
The AT-S100 Management Software provides two default community
strings: public and private. The public string has an access mode of just
Read and the private string has an access mode of Read/Write. If you
activate SNMP management on the switch, delete or disable the private
community string, which is a standard community string in the industry, or
change its status from open to closed to prevent unauthorized changes to
the switch.
The syntax of this command is:
snmp-server community
