SNMP Community String Commands
SNMP Community strings authenticate access to the MIB
(Management Information Base). Community strings function as
“passwords” embedded in every SNMP packet. The community string
must match one of the two community strings configured in the
switch for the message to be processed. There are two community
strings, one for each of the following types of accesses:
❑ read - mode gives read access to all the objects in the MIB, but
does not allow write access
❑ write - mode gives read and write access to all objects in the
MIB
get-comm
get-comm {read|write|*}
This command displays the SNMP community string for a given
access mode ( read or write ). If the access mode is specified as *,
both the read and the write community strings are displayed.
SYS_console>get-comm *
Current read community is: < public >
Current write community is: < private >
