Setting Community
Access Strings
Use the Administration > SNMP (Configure Community) page to configure up to
five community strings authorized for management access by clients using SNMP
v1 and v2c. For security reasons, you should consider removing the default strings.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
Community String – A community string that acts like a password and permits
access to the SNMP protocol.
Range: 1-32 characters, case sensitive
Default strings: “public” (Read-Only), “private” (Read/Write)
12. These are legacy notifications and therefore when used for SNMPv3 hosts, they must be
enabled in conjunction with the corresponding entries in the Notification View (page 442).
