VSP-VOSS SNMP Groups Indexes Communities

[dougm]

Hi all

I am having a heck of a time dealing with snmpv1/v2 communities on VOSS/VSP platform VSP-7254XSQ (7.1.1.0).

All I want to do is disable any default "public/private" snmp1/2 community strings and replace them with "more-secure" custom strings.

What am I doing wrong?

Please help!!! 

I've been trying to go off of this: h tee tee pee :// networkautobahn.com/2015/04/21/how-to-configure-snmpv3-for-avaya-vsp-and-ers-switches/

I found my problem.  I had to use the "no community-by-index <index>" command and get rid of the community entries that way.

Hope that might help someone!
