Adding and deleting an SNMP community

You can add SNMP communities to restrict access to the switch from the SNMP management stations. You must add community names that exist in the network.

The default community name is public. This default community is used when no community is added in the switch. After you add a new community name, the default community name public is not displayed in the SNMP Communities pane.

4. Click Add Community.
To delete an SNMP community:
