read and write community name. To improve security, assign your SNMP communities a name other than
public and private.
To make sure that the MIB objects are accessible only to a specific NMS, use a basic ACL to identify the
source IP address of the NMS. To set the range of the MIB objects available for the community, use a MIB
view.
