CommunityGet
– Security string used in SNMP protocol for “Get” re-
quests. Set this value to match the value specified in the NMS or MIB
browser. Maximum string length is 20 alpha-numeric characters. The
string allows read operation for the RM SSPA SNMP agent.
•
CommunitySet
– Security string used in SNMP protocol for “Set” re-
quests. Set this value to match the value specified in the NMS or MIB
browser. For security reasons this string must be different than the Com-
munity Get string. The maximum string length is 20 alpha-numeric char-
acters. The string allows write operation for the RM SSPA SNMP agent.
Note
: Community strings are essentially passwords. The user should use
the same rules for selecting them as for any other passwords: no diction-
ary words, spouse names, etc. An alphanumeric string with mixed upper-
and lower-case letters is generally a good idea.
