SNMP Community Table Settings
Use this table to view existing SNMP Community Table configurations and to create a SNMP community string to
define the relationship between the SNMP manager and an agent. The community string acts like a password to
permit access to the agent on the Switch. One or more of the following characteristics can be associated with the
community string:
• An Access List of IP addresses of SNMP managers that are permitted to use the community string to gain
access to the Switch's SNMP agent.
• Any MIB view that defines the subset of all MIB objects will be accessible to the SNMP community.
• Read/write or read-only level permission for the MIB objects accessible to the SNMP community.
