ComBus

Community

The ComBus is the BPX’s internal messaging bus.

In the context of SNMP, a relationship between an agent and a set of SNMP managers that defines security characteristics. The community concept is a local one, defined at the agent. The agent establishes one community for each desired combination of authentication, access control, and proxy characteristics. Each community is given a unique (within this agent) community name, and the management stations within that community are provided with and must employ the community name in all get and set operations. The agent may establish a number of communities, with overlapping management station membership.
