18.3 SNMP Community Strings

The CDM-IP570L uses community strings as a password scheme that provides
authentication before gaining access to the CDM-IP570L agent's MIBs.
In SNMP v1/v2c, the community string is sent unencrypted in the SNMP packets.
Caution must be taken by the network administrator to ensure that SNMP packets travel
only over a secure and private network if security is a concern. A packet sniffer can
easily obtain the community string by viewing the SNMP traffic on the network.
The community string is entered into the MIB Browser or Network Node Management
software and is used to authenticate users and determine access privileges to the SNMP
agent.
The user defines three Community Strings for SNMP access:
