Communities
Access rights in SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 are managed by defining communities in the
Communities page. The community name is a type of shared password between the SNMP
management station and the device. It is used to authenticate the SNMP management station.
Communities are only defined in SNMPv1 and v2 because SNMPv3 works with users instead
of communities. The users belong to groups that have access rights assigned to them.
The Communities page associates communities with access rights, either directly (Basic
mode) or through groups (Advanced mode):
• Basic mode—The access rights of a community can configure with Read Only, Read
Write, or SNMP Admin. In addition, you can restrict the access to the community to
only certain MIB objects by selecting a view (defined in the Views page).
• Advanced Mode—The access rights of a community are defined by a group (defined
in the Groups page). You can configure the group with a specific security model. The
access rights of a group are Read, Write, and Notify.
