# SP Set SNMP Community Subcommand

access: Administrators, Managers

This command enables you to set the community name to be used by the Service Processor, itself, as opposed to the proxy community string that is used between the Service Processor and the platform.

There are no restructions on the length of the community string. Typical names are "private" and "public." The factory default name of the community string is "public," so if you run the command sp get snmp community before you set a value, "public" is returned. Set the value to any string without spaces.
