Adding an SNMP community
You can use the command line interface (CLI) to add a community to the administrative storage virtual machine (SVM) for a cluster that is running SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c.
This procedure is for adding an SNMP community to the administrative SVM for the cluster. The procedure for adding an SNMP community to a data SVM is described in the networking documentation.
In new installations of ONTAP, SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c are disabled by default. SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c are enabled when you create an SNMP community.
ONTAP supports read-only communities.
By default, the SNMP service of the data firewall policy assigned to data LIFs is set to
deny
.When creating an SNMP user for a data SVM, you should create a new firewall policy with SNMP service set to
allow
.You can create SNMP communities for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c users for both the admin SVM and the data SVM.
