To set the SNMP community string on a Cisco switch, first login to the switch with your username and password.
Once logged in, type in the command “snmp–server community” followed by an alphanumeric string. This string is the desired community name as your switch will use it to identify any SNMP requests coming from an authorized device.
For example, you could use the command “snmp–server community mycommstring”.
Once the community string is set, the switch will remember it until you change it.
You can also configure access rights in the command line if you wish more fine–grained control over what devices can access the switch with SNMP.
