same community name are granted the same access rights.
Common practice is to use two community strings for the device — one (public community) with
read-only access and the other (private community) with read-write access. The public string allows

During initial configuration, it is recommended to configure the device according to the network
administration requirements, in accordance with using an SNMP-based management station.
