When to Use

To set SNMP Management community names. Community names provide multiple levels of manageability and are agents of security access to the device. Access is controlled by enacting any of three different levels of security authorization (read-only, read-write, and super-user).

NOTE: Super-user access gives the user full management privileges, allows existing passwords to be changed, and all modifiable MIB objects to be edited.

How to Access
