Description: The community string included in the SNMP PDU used for authentication purposes.
What is gsECommunityString?
Holds the SNMP community string this entry authenticates against, e.g. 'public' or a custom string like 'netops-ro'. Admins configure a distinct, non-default string here to avoid the well-known 'public'/'private' defaults being usable against the switch.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.1.2.1.1.2 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsECommunityString
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.1.2.1.1.2.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> GIGAswitchEthernet-MIB::gsECommunityString.1
Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):
snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.39.1.2.1.1.2.1 s <value>
