SNMP Communities

This section of the Manager lets you configure and manage SNMP community strings, which identify
valid communities from which the SNMP agent accepts requests. A community string is like a password:
it validates messages between an SNMP manager and the agent.

To use the VPN 3002 SNMP agent, you must configure and add at least one community string. You can
configure a maximum of 10 community strings. To protect security, the SNMP agent does not include
the usual default public community string, and we recommend that you not configure it.
