Setting Community Access Strings
You may configure up to five community strings authorized for
management access. For security reasons, you should consider removing
the default strings.

permits access to the SNMP protocol.
• Access Mode

stations are only able to retrieve MIB objects.
• Read/Write – Specifies read-write access. Authorized
management stations are able to both retrieve and modify MIB
objects.

the access rights from the Access Mode drop-down list, then click “Add.”

access.
