	Use SNMP communities to restrict access to the switch by SNMP management
	stations by adding, editing, or deleting SNMP communities. You can configure
	up to five SNMP communities, each with either an operator-level or a manager-
	level view, and either restricted or unrestricted write access.
	Using SNMP requires that the switch have an IP address and subnet mask
	compatible with your network.
C a u t i o n	For ProCurve Manager (PCM) version 1.5 or earlier (or any TopTools version),
	deleting the “public” community disables some network management
	functions (such as traffic monitoring, SNMP trap generation, and threshold
	setting). If network management security is a concern, and you are using the
	above software versions, ProCurve recommends that you change the write
	access for the “public” community to “Restricted”.
