The community string acts like a password to permit access to the agent on the Switch. One or more of the following characteristics can be associated with the community string: • An Access List of IP addresses of SNMP managers that are permitted to use the community string to gain access to the Switch's SNMP agent. • Any MIB view that defines the subset of all MIB objects will be accessible to the SNMP community. • Read/write or read-only level permission for the MIB objects accessible to the SNMP community.

Options to choose from are Plain Text and Encrypted. Community Name: Enter an alphanumeric string of up to 32 characters that is used to identify members of an SNMP community. This string is used like a password to give remote SNMP managers access to MIB objects in the Switch's SNMP agent.

The view name must exist in the SNMP View Table. Access Right: Select the access right here. Options to choose from are Read Only, and Read Write. Read Only - SNMP community members using the community string created can only read the contents of the MIBs on the Switch.
