This command adds (and names) a new SNMP community, and optionally sets the access mode, allowed IP address, and create a view for the community.
Note:
Note the following:
- No SNMP communities exist by default.
- Community names in the SNMP Community Table must be unique. When making multiple entries using the same community name, the first entry is kept and processed and all duplicate entries are ignored.
