Usage Guidelines

Usage scenario

After you run the snmp-agent community plaintext enable command, the community name is displayed in plaintext after you run the snmp-agent community { read | write } community-name command to specify a plaintext community name.

Precautions

The existing community names are not affected after you run the snmp-agent community plaintext enable command. But the configured community names displayed in plaintext will be encrypted and displayed in ciphertext after you run the undo snmp-agent community plaintext enable command.

To ensure the security of community names, enable SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c community names to be displayed in ciphertext.
