18.4 SNMP Community
SNMP communities act like passwords and are used to define the security parameters of
SNMP clients in an SNMP v1 and SNMP v2c environments. The default SNMP community is
“public” for both SNMP v1 and SNMP v2c before SNMP v3 is enabled. Once SNMP v3 is
enabled, the communities of SNMP v1 and v2c have to be unique and cannot be shared. Use
the
SNMP Community screen to create SNMP communities and associate SNMP groups to
them. Click SNMP > Community to view the screen as shown.
