Figure 8-7 Configuration System Management Protocols Screen

Configuration System Management Protocols SNMP Communities

This section of the Manager lets you configure and manage SNMP community strings, which identify valid communities from which the SNMP agent accepts requests. A community string is like a password: it validates messages between an SNMP manager and the agent.

To use the VPN 3002 SNMP agent, you must configure and add at least one community string. You can configure a maximum of 10 community strings. To protect security, the SNMP agent does not include the usual default public community string, and we recommend that you not configure it.
