SNMP Community

To use Simplified Network Management Protocol (SNMP), enter a community name. SNMP is

an application-layer protocol that supports message-oriented communication between
SNMP management stations and agents. This community name automatically appears in the
list of users authorized to view and make changes to the management system when SNMP is
enabled.

The SNMP community string is used like a username and is for authentication, privacy, and

authorization services within SNMP. Choose for this community to have read-only or read/
write capabilities.
Read-only indicates that the access point lets only SNMP read access. Using this option,

you cannot change access point configuration settings.

Read-write indicates that the access point lets SNMP read and write access. This setting

lets you change the access point configuration.
