Changing the SNMP Community Name
Configuring the SNMP community names determines which systems are able
to manage your system through SNMP. The SNMP community name used by
management station applications must match the SNMP community name
configured on the Dell OpenManage software system so that the
management applications can retrieve systems management information
from the Dell OpenManage software.
