Configuring Community Strings
You use the SNMP community string to define the relationship between the SNMP manager
and the agent. The community string acts like a password to permit access to the agent on the
system. One thing to be aware of is that in case of adding new community string using the
Corecess R1-SW24L2B CLI command, this community string must be added in NMS in order to
connect to the system using this community string. To define SNMP community strings, use the
following commands in Privileged mode:

end
