9 LTOS7 Management and Monitoring
V1/V2 Parameter
Read Community:
The read community is only used for SNMP versions V1 and V2. It is like a user id or password that al-
lows access to the LANTIME SNMP objects. The SNMP Monitoring system sends the read community string
along with all SNMP requests. If the community string is correct, the LANTIME responds with the requested
information. If the community string is incorrect, the LANTIME simply discards the request and does not respond.
Write Community:
The write community is only used for SNMP versions V1 and V2. It is like a user id or password that allows
access to the LANTIME SNMP objects. The SNMP Monitoring system sends the write community string along
with all SNMP-SET commands. If the community string is correct, the SNMP-SET command is executed. If
the community string is incorrect, the SNMP-SET command is not executed.
