SNMP Strings for Cat OS devices

[czgyz9]

I was wondering if there was a way on Cat OS devices to configure multiple snmp read-only passwords.

We use Campus Manager's User Tracking and are trying to get 1 snmp string to be used for all devices, while still keeping current snmp string in place. It will ease some of the discovery issues we are having. The is simple with IOS devices and ACL's, I just don't know how it done with Cat OS devices.

I think that was a limitation to catos , you could only have 1 .We had tried the same thing and it would only allow 1 snmp read string .

Starting with 7.4(1), the functionality to have more than one read-only or read-write community string is now available in CatOS.

Here is a sample config (with access-list applied as well):

set snmp access-list 111 10.10.10.10

set snmp community-ext john read-only access 111

set snmp community-ext doe read-write access 111

The output of show snmp will display an entry for Additional Community Strings.
