Case #3: NMS is listed in the SNMP Communities using one of the global
community strings.
SNMP Communities settings:
[1] 172.18.63.1 ronly Read/Write
Analysis: Both get and set requests from this NMS will be honored when using the
ronly community string. Any requests from NMS using rwrite, however, will be
denied.

community string.

gets or rwrite for gets and sets as well.
