Community Strings list.

NOTE

Discovery uses the read-write community string to detect both SNMP read and SNMP write
community strings.

If the devices use multiple community strings, use the Up or Down buttons to place the most
commonly used community string at the top of the Selected Read-Write Community Strings list
to make discovery run more efficiently.

NOTE

If the Selected Read-Write Community Strings list does not contain any community strings, the
Management application uses the "public" and "private" community strings.
