Usage Guidelines You must have at least one community string for SNMP access. If you delete all of the community strings on your system, you will no longer have SNMP access, even if you have SNMP enabled. The community strings allow a simple method of authentication between the switch and the remote network manager. There are two types of community strings on the switch. Read community strings provide read-only access to the switch. The default read-only community string is public. read/write community strings provide read and write access to the switch. The default read/write community string is private. Sixteen read-only and sixteen read-write community strings can be configured on the switch, including the defaults. The community string for all authorized trap receivers must be configured on the switch for the trap receiver to receive switch-generated traps. SNMP community strings can contain up to 32 characters. For increased security, NETGEAR recommends that you change the defaults of the read/write and read-only community strings. Use the configure snmp add commands to configure an authorized SNMP management station. Example The following command deletes a read/write community string named netgear: configure snmp delete community readwrite netgear 66 | Chapter 3. Commands for Managing the Switch
