Community
Click on Community to display a list of community strings.
Broadcast uses a list of community names when searching for devices. A device can only respond to frames with
the correct community name. You must know the community names used by devices in your network and specify
them in the community list. This is one of the security features of the SNMP protocol.
To add or modify a community string, click on an entry in the list and edit the entry in the Edit field. Click OK to
continue or Cancel to abandon the new entry.
