snmpd.comm -- SNMP communities file

Description

The /etc/snmpd.comm file contains the definitions for the communities which will be supported by the SNMP agent/server daemon, snmpd(ADMN). The file contains lines which consist of three items: a session or community name, an IP address in dot notation, and the privileges to be associated with that community and IP address pair. The privileges should be one of READ, WRITE, or NONE. NONE is used to lock out specific communities or hosts. Lines which begin with ``#'' are ignored.

The IP address ``0.0.0.0'' is used to denote a wild card, meaning any host. Hence, it must be used with care. As a safety precaution, never assign WRITE privileges to entries using a wild card IP address.

Examples

test1 128.212.64.99 READ
test2 128.212.64.17 WRITE
test3 128.212.64.15 READ
test4 0.0.0.0 READ
public 0.0.0.0 READ
interop 0.0.0.0 READ
