By default, SNMPv1 is configured on Extreme Networks switches. Default Extreme Networks SNMP Configuration lists the default configuration parameters, which include a single community name - public - granting read-write access to the whole MIB tree for both SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c.
Parameter | Default Value |
---|---|
Community name | public |
Group access privileges | rw (read-write) |
Group user name | public |
Security model | v1 |
Security access rights | all (for read, write, and notify access) |
MIB view | all (entire MIB tree) |
You can revise this default configuration by following the steps described in Adding to or Modifying the Default Configuration.
To take advantage of the advanced security and other features available in SNMPv3, it is recommended that you add to the Extreme Networks default configuration by configuring SNMPv3 as described in Configuring SNMPv3.
Refer also to Configuring Secure SNMP Community Names for a description of a recommended configuration that will prevent unsecured access to SNMP information.
