Chapter 5: The SNMP Community Names Screen
Page 5-2 ESXMIM/ESXMIM-F2 Local Management Guide
The following definitions explain each of the three levels of access:
read-only
This access level allows reading of device parameters including read-only
community names.
read-write
This access level allows the reading of parameters and the read-only and
read-write community names. The read-write access level also allows the
editing of some device parameters, not including community names.
super-user
This access level allows full management privileges.
5.2 SETTING SNMP COMMUNITY NAMES
To set a community name, perform the following steps:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the community name you want to
change.
2. Type the new community name and press ENTER. The old
community name text disappears and is replaced by the new
community name.
3. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command field.
4. Press ENTER. The Event Message field at the top of the screen
displays “SAVED OK”.

CAUTION
If you edit the super-user community name, be certain you do
not forget it. If you do, you will be unable to perform Local
Management functions without returning the local management
community names to their factory default configurations. This
will require changing a mode switch setting and restarting the
ESXMIM.
