Trap Community
String
Configure a SNMP Trap Community String which is processed by the
servers configured in Trap Servers. This string is used by the trap
server to decide whether or not to process the traps incoming from
the device (i.e. for traps to successfully be received by the trap
server, the community string must match).
System Logging (Syslog)

messages.
Syslog Mask Configure the levels of syslog messages which the devices send to
the servers configured in parameters Server 1-4.

overwriting previous entries.
