Modifying an SNMP community

This topic provides information about modifying the permission assigned to existing SNMP communities.

Note: If you change the permission for an existing community, the community no longer has access to the system information that it had prior to the change. For example, a community originally set to trap is being used with an NMS for alarm management; if you change the community to read-only, the system lets you do it, even though the NMS is now assigned a community that does not have access for alarm management.

To modify an existing SNMP community:

1. On the Administer SNMP Community page, select an SNMP community that you want to modify.

2. Click Change.
3. Complete the fields on the Change An Existing SNMP Community page. You can click the field names or Help to view more information.
4. Click Save.

   The system saves your changes.

5. Click OK to confirm your changes.

   The system displays the Administer SNMP Community page with an updated list of existing SNMP communities.
