Note:
• SNMP community strings are applicable only to SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c; SNMPv3
uses username-password authentication along with an encryption key (see
''Configuring SNMP V3 Users'' on page 92).
• You can enhance security by configuring Trusted Managers (see ''Configuring
SNMP Trusted Managers'' on page 91). A Trusted Manager is an IP address from
which the SNMP agent accepts Get and Set requests.
For detailed descriptions of the SNMP parameters, see ''SNMP Parameters'' on page 931.
