SNMP community strings are embedded passwords to Management Information
Bases (MIBs). MIBs store data about the router's operation and are meant to be
available to authenticated remote users. There are two types of community
strings: "public" community strings, which provide read-only access to all objects
in the MIB except community strings, and "private" community strings, which
provides read and write access to all objects in the MIB, but do not allow access
to the community strings.
The community string table lists all of the configured community strings and their
types. Use the Add button to display the Add a Community String dialog box and
create new community strings. Click the Edit, and Delete buttons to edit or delete
the community string you selected in the table.
Enter the IP addresses and community strings of the trap receivers—that is, the
addresses where the trap information should be sent. These are normally the IP
addresses of the SNMP management stations monitoring your domain. Check
with your site administrator to determine the address if you are unsure of it.
Click the Add, Edit, and Delete buttons to administer trap receiver information.
