SNMP Community String Password

[corey.mckinney]

Is it possible to put a password on the Community String? I already have an access list assigned, but I'd like a password as well.

Hi Corey,

Community string is already a kind of security and on top of that you have already implemented an ACL so no option of password is left.

Just kidding....There is no option of password in community string.

snmp-server community [string [RO|RW] [list]]

Thats the only command and no other options are available in this command.

HTH, if yes please rate the post.

Hello,

in addition to Ankur's post, have a look at the document below, which talks about SNMP authentication in SNMP version 3:

SNMPv3
