following characteristics can be associated with
the community string:
An Access List of IP addresses of SNMP
managers that are permitted to use the
community string to gain access to the switch’s
SNMP agent.
An MIB view that defines the subset of all MIB
objects that will be accessible to the SNMP
community.
Read|write or read-only level permission for the
MIB objects accessible to the SNMP
community.
