AdditionalInformation
l If you define a single community and set both the IP address and network mask to 0.0.0.0 (or

agent is accessible from any IP address.
l When entering IP addresses, never use an address that is in a reserved IP address range. To
see a list of reserved IP address ranges, click the quick tip icon [?] located near the IP address
field.
