The following explains each SNMP Community Names screen field:

Community Name (Modifiable)

2H28-08R SNMP Management. Any community name assigned here acts as a password to Local/Remote Management.

Access Policy (Read-Only)

Indicates the access accorded each community name. The available access levels are as follows:

read-only	This community name gives the user read-only
	access to the 2H28-08R MIB objects, and
	excludes access to security-protected fields of
	read-write or super-user authorization.
read-write	This community name gives the user read-write
	access to the 2H28-08R MIB objects, excluding
	security protected fields for super-user access
	only.
super-user	This community name gives the user read-write
	access to the 2H28-08R MIB objects and
	allows the user to change all modifiable
	parameters including community names, IP
	addresses, traps, and SNMP objects.
