SNMP v1 and SNMP v2c adopt community name authentication. The community name can limit 
access to the SNMP agent from SNMP network management station, functioning as a password. If 
SNMP v1 or SNMP v2c is employed, you can directly configure the SNMP Community on this 
page without configuring SNMP Group and User.  
Choose the menu SNMP→SNMP Config→SNMP Community to load the following page.
