Caution: The community name is equivalent to a password, and is sent in plain text in every SNMP packet.
Anyone who knows the community name is able to modify settings on this device. It is highly recommended
you do not allow read-write access; otherwise, take additional steps to secure the connection.
Specify the endpoints on which the SNMP agent accepts requests in the Local SNMP Port field. An
5
endpoint consists of an optional transport, an optional address, and a port that is separated by colon (:)
characters. The default transport is UDP, and the default address is any address. The field can contain a
space-separated list of endpoints.
• Examples: 1161, tcp:161, 10.0.0.1:1161, or tcp:10.0.0.1:1161.
• Default: Port 161
[Optional] The Administrative Contact is the SNMP sysContact field. Any value can be specified, but a
