SNMP Community
The SNMP community configuration dialog allows you to manage the SNMP community access privilege.

exchange of management information between network devices. It is part of the Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol suite. SNMP enables network administrators to manage network
performance, find and solve network problems, and plan for network growth. The Trap operation is used by
agents to asynchronously inform the NMS of a significant event.
