Fields	Descriptions
Address	The subnet address of a group of devices or the IP address
	of a single device. (Default is 0.0.0.0 to include all devices.)
	Note: Optivity Switch Manager uses zero (0) as a wildcard
	to associate SNMP communities with groups of devices.
	You can place a zero anywhere in the IP address. For
	example, the address 10.10.0.0 refers to all addresses in
	the 10.10. subnet.
Read	The level of permission to view or read configuration
	information on a group of devices or single device.
	The community string default is public (open access)
Write	The level of permission to change configuration information
