Defining SNMP Communities

Access rights are managed by defining communities in the SNMP Communities
Page. You may configure up to five community strings authorized for management
access using SNMP v1 and v2c. For security reasons, you should consider
removing the default strings. When the community names are changed, access
rights are also changed. SNMP communities are defined only for SNMP v1 and
SNMP v2c.
