SNMP Community Name:
Name identifies each SNMP community and can be a string up to 32
characters. A
public community means users have read only access. A
private community is for users who have read/write access. Two
communities have default values. The default names are Public and
Private. You can replace these default community names with unique
identifiers for each community. The default value for the remaining four
community names are blank.
Access Mode:
This value can be read only or read/write. A community with a read only
access allows for 8275-416 information to be displayed. A community with a
read/write access allows for configuration changes to be made and for
information to be displayed.
Client IP Address

will accept SNMP packets with the associated community. The requesting
entity’s IP address is combined with the Client IP Mask before being
compared to the Client Ip Address. Note: If the Client IP Mask is set to
0.0.0.0, a Client IP Address of 0.0.0.0 matches all IP addresses.
Client IP Mask
This attribute is a mask to be combined with the requesting entity’s IP
address before comparison with Client IP Address. If the result matches
with Client IP Address then the address is an authenticated IP address . For
example, if the Client IP Address is 9.47.128.0 and the corresponding Client
Ip Mask is 255.255.255.0, a range of incoming IP addresses would match,
ie the incoming IP addresses could be a value in the following range:
9.47.128.0 - 9.47.128.255.
Status:
This attribute has the following values: Enable, Disable and Delete on the
Terminal and Web interface and Active, Inactive, and Delete via SNMP. A
status value of Enable/Active means that the community is active, allowing
SNMP managers associated using this community to manage the
