8. Use Community Name to reconfigure an existing community, or to create a new one.
Use this menu to select one of the existing community names, or select 'Create' to add a

9. Client Address. Taken together, the Client Address and Client IP Mask denote a range of
IP addresses from which SNMP clients can use that community to access this device.
If either (Client Address or IP Mask) value is 0.0.0.0, access is allowed from any IP
address. Otherwise, every client's address is ANDed with the mask, as is the Client
Address, and, if the values are equal, access is allowed. For example, if the Client
Address and Client IP Mask parameters are 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0, then any client
whose address is 192.168.1.0 through 192.168.1.255 (inclusive) is allowed access. To
allow access from only one station, use a Client IP Mask value of 255.255.255.255, and
use that machine's IP address for Client Address.
10. Client IP Mask. Taken together, the Client Address and Client IP Mask denote a range of IP
addresses from which SNMP clients can use that community to access this device.
If either (Client Address or IP Mask) value is 0.0.0.0, access is allowed from any IP
address. Otherwise, every client's address is ANDed with the mask, as is the Client
Address, and, if the values are equal, access is allowed. For example, if the Client
Address and Client IP Mask parameters are 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0, then any client
whose IP address is 192.168.1.0 through 192.168.1.255 (inclusive) is allowed access. To
allow access from only one station, use a Client IP Mask value of 255.255.255.255, and
use that machine's IP address for Client Address.
