Changing The SNMP Community Name

Configuring the SNMP community name determines which systems are able to manage your system through SNMP. The SNMP community name used by management applications must match an SNMP community name configured on the system running Server Administrator, so that the management applications can retrieve management information from Server Administrator.
To change the SNMP community name used for retrieving management information from a system running Server Administrator:
  1. Open the SNMP agent configuration file, /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf.
  2. Find the line that reads: com2sec publicsec default public or com2sec notConfigUser default public.
    NOTE: For IPv6, find the line com2sec6 notConfigUser default public. Also, add the text agentaddress udp6:161 in the file.
  3. Edit this line, replacing public with the new SNMP community name. When edited, the new line should read: com2sec publicsec default community_name or com2sec notConfigUser default community_name.
  4. To enable SNMP configuration changes, restart the SNMP agent by typing: service snmpd restart.
