Removing Old SNMP Indexes

Hey all,

Been having this issue with my 3750, I'm trying to change the SNMP community string (I know, I should be using v3) which is easy enough, however I'm pretty sure the monitoring software that my company uses is looking at the community string indexes, which I can't seem to figure out how to change.

<START SNIP>

SW3750X_29_SR(config)#no snmp-serv
SW3750X_29_SR(config)#no snmp-server community xxxxx@1 RO
% Error : Community xxxxx@1 already exists and is ReadOnly, it cannot be modified or deleted.
SW3750X_29_SR(config)#

<END SNIP>

I have a feeling that even with the new string I added, the indexes from the old string won't be removed and replaced until I reload the switch, is this accurate or just cope?

Any insights as to what I'm doing wrong would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

So turns out the solution was that I'm dumb. Didn't know you can't have @ symbols in your SNMP community string, took those out and everything worked like a charm. Whoops.

    - If you want to delete that snmp community then try :
                                         snmp-server community xxxxx@1 RW (first) 
        followed by          no snmp-server community  xxxxx@1 RW

When I attempted this, it still gave me the same output "Community xxxxx@1 already exists and is ReadOnly, it cannot be modified or deleted." Appreciate the feedback!

 

  - Could you try : config snmp community delete  xxxxx@1
