Defining Communities
The system administrator manages access rights (read and write, read only, and so on.) by
defining communities in the Community Table. When the community names are changed,
access rights are also changed. To open the SNMP Community page:
•Click System > SNMP > Communities in the Tree View. The SNMP Community
page opens.
SNMP Community Page
The SNMP Community page contains the following fields:
• SNMP Management Station—Indicates a list of management station IP addresses.
• Community String—Functions as a password and used to authenticate the selected
management station to the device.
• Access Mode—Defines the access rights of the community. The possible field values
are:
– Read Only—Indicates that the management access is restricted to read-only, and
changes cannot be made to the community.
– Read Write—Indicates that the management access is read-write and changes can
be made to the device configuration, but not to the community.
