Community
SNMP v1 and v2 only. The community name is sent in every
communication between the client and the server, and the
community name must be correct before requests are allowed.
Communities are further defined by the type of access specified
under “Permission”: either read only or read write. The most
common community is “public” and it should not be used
because it is so commonly known. By default, the public
community cannot access SNMP information on the OnBoard.
Server
IP address of the SNMP server
