47.3.1 Setting Community Names

SNMP V1 and SNMPV2C adopt the community name authentication scheme.

SNMP Community is named with a character string, which is called community

name. SNMP community name defines the relationship between SNMP manager

and SNMP agent. The community name functions like a password, that is, it

controls the access of the SNMP manager to the SNMP agent. You can choose to

specify one or more community name-related features: Define MIB views of all the

accessible MIB subsets.

Define the read-only or read-write access mode of the community name to the MIB.

The community with read-only authority can only query the device information,

whereas the community with read-write authority can also configure the device.
