SECURITY ALERT
The Get and Set, community names are generally configured with default values of Public and
Private respectively. If required, the local network administrator must supply values for their
Network Management System. This is a security issue. For example, the default Set
community name of Private, with it's widely known password could be used to shutdown or
reconfigure the Ethernet switch via a SNMP message.
