Defining SNMP Communities
Access rights in SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 are managed by defining communities in
the
Communities Page . The community name is a type of shared password
between the SNMP management station and the device. It is used to authenticate
the SNMP management station.
Communities are only defined in SNMPv1 and v2 because SNMP v3 works with
users instead of communities. The users belong to groups that have access rights
assigned to them.
