Get community string: The “Get community string” is used to read SNMP information from the router. This string is like a password
that is transmitted in regular text with no protection.
Set community string: The “Set community string” is used when writing SNMP settings to the router. This string is like a password. It is
a good idea to make it different than the “Get community string.”
