Removing Old SNMP Indexes

[rvickey]

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!

    - 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

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.
