Communities

In the Communities page, you can create different communities and customize access. The Public string has read-only privileges by default.

The following options are available:

SNMP Community Capability — indicates that the switch supports up to five community strings.
Community List — displays a list of the community strings currently configured. The default string is "public," with read-only access.
Community String — type the name of a new community you want to create. (Maximum length: 32 characters, case sensitive)
Access Mode — set the access rights for the new community that you want to create. Access rights are either Read-Only or Read/Write.

To add an SNMP community, type the new name in the Community String box and select the access rights from the Access Mode drop-down list, then click Add Community String. To delete a community, select the entry in the Community List, then click Remove Community String.
