Community configuration

By default, two SNMP Communities exist:

•private, with Read/Write privileges and status set to Enable

•public, with Read-only privileges and status set to Enable

These are well-known communities; you can use this menu to change the defaults or to add other communities. Only the communities that you define using this menu will have access to the switch using the SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c protocols. Only those communities with Read-Write privileges will have access to this menu via SNMP.

Use this panel when you are using the SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c protocol; if you want to use SNMP v3 you should use the User Accounts menu.

Six communities are supported. You can add, change or delete communities. The switch does not have to be reset for changes to take effect.

The SNMP agent of the switch complies with SNMPv1 (for more about the SNMP specification, see the SNMP RFCs). The SNMP agent sends traps through TCP/IP to an external SNMP manager based on the SNMP configuration (the trap receiver and other SNMP community parameters).

Name	A community name is associated with the switch and with a set of SNMP managers
	that manage it with a specified privileged level. The length of the name can be up to
	16 case-sensitive characters. There are two default community names: public (with
	Read-only access) and private (with Read/Write access). You can replace these
	default community names with unique identifiers for each community. The default
	values for the remaining four community names are blank. Community names in
	the SNMP community table must be unique. If you make multiple entries using the
