3) Set Community Name
The Set Community Name variable is a password (up to 16 characters) that enables NMS
stations to read and write objects through SNMP. The default Set Community Name is “public,”
which allows all NMS stations read access to readable objects. If you want to specify a Set
Community Name password, enter a 2, an equal sign (=), and the new Set Community Name.
The following is an example:
2=alpha
♦ Note ♦
Set Community Names with spaces must be enclosed in
quotations (e.g., “test lab”).
4) Get Community Name
The Get Community Name variable is a password (up to 16 characters) that enables NMS
stations to read objects defined in the MIBs. The default Get Community Name is “public,”

Community Name password, enter a 2, an equal sign (=), and the new Get Community Name.
The following is an example display:

5) Trap Community Name
The Trap Community Name (up to 16 characters) is a password that enables NMS stations to

want to specify a Trap Community Name password, enter a 4, an equal sign (=), and the new
Trap Community Name. The following is an example display.
