is an SNMP community name (essentially a password) that is included
within the SNMP message header. Any SNMP message that contains this
community name is considered valid by the SNMP agent or engine.
managers are restricted to SNMP get operations meaning that such
managers can read, but cannot change system values contained in the
Management Information Base (MIB).
managers have access to both SNMP get and set operations, meaning that
these managers can both read and change MIB values.
This SNMP specific manager is granted access to the local agent or engine.
In the absence of an IP address, access is granted to all SNMP managers
using community.
