There are several ways to set up communities, so automatically setting all of them up will unnecessarily limit the customer’s flexibility.
Example 1: Use the same “public” string for every get/set/trap
Create a user “v1v2GetSetUser” with all the get/set privilege you desire using the appropriate view, user, group, and access table entries. In this case, the “access” record would have both the read and write views filled in.
Create a community name “public” with index “GetSet” and an empty “Tag”, and specify the user “v1v2GetSetUser”
Create a community name “public” with index “Trap” and tag “Trap”. Specify the predefined user “v12TrapsUser”.
