SNMP Community Names

You can configure up to 10 SNMP community strings (read-only and read-write).

SNMP community strings are applicable only to SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c.

If you don't configure any community strings, the device's default community strings are used:

“public” for the read-only community string
“private” for the read-write community string

Each community string must be associated with one of the following predefined groups:
